If a pose is added, a pose marker is created. The Whole Character keying set is used to determine which bones to key. If any bones are selected, only keyframes for those bones are added, otherwise all bones in the keying set are keyed. Bones that are ignored by the Whole Character keying set are always ignored, regardless of their selection state.
