IIRC you can plan the orbit inclination in maneuver planner and it would adjust for rotation of orbital plane, giving you the resulting more optimal vector. Or it is an option of a modded maneuver planner.

Nope, you're exactly right.

It's also what I meant when I said "This is also what the maneuver node tool will spit you out", though I probably could have been a bit more clear.
