Workaround
this.radGridView1.Templates["MyEmptyTemplate"]..AddNewRowPosition = SystemRowPosition.Top

Then handle the ViewCellFormatting event and get notifications when the hierarchy tabs are being clicked.
private void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
	GridDetailViewCellElement detailCell = e.CellElement as GridDetailViewCellElement;
	if (detailCell != null) {
		detailCell.PageViewElement.ItemSelected -= PageViewElement_ItemSelected;
		detailCell.PageViewElement.ItemSelected += PageViewElement_ItemSelected;
	}
}

private void PageViewElement_ItemSelected(object sender, RadPageViewItemSelectedEventArgs e)
{
	if (e.SelectedItem.Text == "MyEmptyTemplate") {
		this.SetsGridViewTemplate.AddNewRowPosition = SystemRowPosition.Bottom;
	}
}
