this is precisely as expected.  salloc allocates; srun runs.

to get a compute node do this instead:
  salloc srun hostname

if you actually want to srun an interactive shell each time,
why are you not using SallocDefaultCommand as others have suggested?

you earlier mentioned wanting to run an X-requiring script.  why not just:
  salloc --x11 srun ./whateveryourscriptwas
