Currently it is as you say: the track playback uses the difficulty settings that were in effect when the track was captured.
What this means is that if you fly with externals disabled (like it happens on most servers), you will not be able to use externals in the track either.
This has been brought up quite early on, so i would guess it is a known issue to the developers.
I don't know if we are expecting a fix that will improve the track player, but i don't expect it to come until the critical bugs (stability and performance) have been corrected first. That's just my personal opinion though, i don't have any inside information about this.
