Firstly Congrats... As I agree with previous posts that they wouldn't bother inviting you back for no reason (if it was just a pat on the back a phone call could suffice right?).

Now private industry is greatly different than public sector "companies". I work in the NHS and I've applied for a temporary secondment to cover a colleague's maternity leave.

My department have had to advertise (albeit internal only) to allow me to go for it - as HR told them they had to (previous thoughts were to just give me the job as I do it already alongside said colleague - at a lower pay band).

So I don't think it's an ethical issue as such - more a company policy thing - they may have no such policy as to advertise internal before external etc. It's brilliant that they liked you so much they'd even tell you straight out that they want to create you a position especially.
