Yeap, you're right. I can think of two workarounds. Use Path->Cut path instead of Difference. Or, convert the line to a shape using Path->Stroke to path before applying Difference.
Also here's a file with examples of bool operations

Actually this is not different from other programs. maybe the naming is, but clipping is actually quite common for that as well. What you want to do is Path->Difference.
I just tried it:
I drew a straight line with the bezier tool. I then drew a box using the bezier tool, overlapping a short bit at the end of the first line. I then selected both and did Path -> Difference, expecting the box and bit of line it overlapped to disappear - but _everything_ disappeared!
