    Greg:

    Completely normal behavior because the one resource is 100% complete,
    extending the duration for that resource adds actual work rather than
    remaining work unless you take control of all of the assignment parameters.
    In a task view such as the Gantt chart, click Window > Split. Select the
    task and add the hours to the resources as necessary in the appropriate
    window.
