Interestingly, this seems to be the way the Finder works. If I select a deeply nested folder in list mode and hit command-option-right arrow, it opens them several folders deep, but not all the way. Repeated presses of command-option-right arrow will open successively deeper and deeper folders. I always assumed that was a bug, but perhaps it was intentional.
