I tried to associate a sequence diagram with a use case extension point, but
I don't see them listed in the combo box.  Is that by design or a bug?

When a sequence diagram is created a Collaboration object is created<br>
which your sequence diagram is supposed to model.<br>
<br>
If when you create the sequence diagram a use case is currently<br>
selected the the collaboration will be attached to that use case.<br>
<br>
Look in the property panel for collaboration, you will see the option<br>
there to view and amend the represented classifier.<br>
