A side note here, it's INCREDIBLY helpful for me to have the click
as a regular Ardour track.  That way it's instantly available for
me to mix into headphones as I'm doing overdubs - I don't have to
bring up the options window, check the Click tab, then play with the
volume.

You shouldn't have to record the track separately, just make sure
the click output feeds just the Ardour track you've defined for it
and nothing else.
