Because the Fillet Component is not designed to Fillet only Two Curves. The purpose is to "Fillet the sharp corners of a curve". Therefore the first half of a curve is reserved for the previous segment and the second half for the next.

If you want a way of doing just two lines then here's one way to get you going. This setup only works on equal length curves and the direction needs to be right, both curves start at the corner you want to fillet.

I just added an additional fillet component that creates a single fillet at a given curve parameter. I might be able to make it work on a list of fillet points and fillet radii, but that would involve a lot more testing and thinking and I'm a bit strapped now trying to release the next version.

 

So come the public release of 0.8.0005, this should be easier to accomplish.
