I noticed some odd and unexpected behavior

This is weird: I can't reproduce that anymore.

a semi-workaround to this. You can set the first line of text in the box to a 0.0001 point size font.

That kinda sorta almost works. But…

The most straightforward workaround seems to be:

  1. create your plain text frame with text
  2. put a rounded rectangle of the same size underneath
  3. set Text Wrap of the rectangle to Inside
  4. group both

The group then behaves as a single object, so when you resize the group frame the text will rewrap.
You can set insets on the text frame to wrap strictly to the underlying rectangle or "Distance From Text" in the Text Wrap window which is relative to the roundings. Or combination thereof:
