This indeed the way 2.6 works. The invoice is decoupled from the payment the moment 
you unpost it because there is no way to guarantee the changes you make to the invoice 
will still be compatible with the payment afterwards. You could post the invoice to another 
account, you could reduce the invoice total amount,...

You can assign an existing payment back to an invoice manually. For this you right-click on 
the payment transaction and select "Assign as payment". In the payment dialog window 
that opens you select both the payment and the invoice and click ok.
