So claim the player, trade him, then log in as the commish and void your own trade based on this rule,

You are misunderstanding my point, so I'll try to clarify. I have absolutely no problems with being able to trade a player I claimed. I completely agree that it is my responsibility and the not the game's to prevent that. I should rename this thread to "AI Claiming Logic."
Here is my point. If you were a GM and saw a player you were willing to trade for on the waiver wire, why would you not claim them? The only reason I can think of is budget issues and 40-man roster issues, but that wasn't a problem in any of the examples I have tested. Thus, the AI's logic for claiming players is clearly suboptimal.
From my tests so far, it appears that the level of interest when trading is significantly greater than the level of interest for claiming. In the absence of budget and 40-man roster limitations, that should almost never happen.
