Hehe. :-)

However, I don't find this too strange: that morpheme probably makes a
transitive verb intransitive, which isn't strange, if the lexicon
entry for that verb is transitive (a reasonable default for 'to see').

I thought that rather the feature that in English (and many other IE
langs) you can just leave an object of a transitive unmentioned, is at
least worth mentioning when describing English grammar.

But I don't know whether this is what the morpheme does, just guessing
here.
