the guy's deck had probably been sealed with silicone or whatever before he
painted.
Other than the very high moisture content when treated lumber is shipped,
there is nothing about
treated lumber that is incompatible with the usual oil based primers, etc.
If people are putting latex products directly on raw treated wood, it will
fail, as would happen on untreated wood as well.

Lot of education on the new PT lumber here. Look at links and sidebars
too:

I'd recommend a solid-color stain as well. You won't have a problem
with flaking down the road.

Depending on your climate, you should wait before you apply any paint
or stain. Where I live (Great White North) it's generally advised to
wait a full year before painting, but if you're in a hot, dry climate,
you'd probably get away with a month or so.

Good luck.

A word to the wise from an idiot.. ME! I sprayed everything on my deck,
including the lattice, with Thompsons waterseal. Seven years later the
stain that I put on the third year still rubs off on anything that touches
it!! Don't use any silicone products or your wife will make your life
miserable eveytime she rubs against the thing.

The problem isn't the product you used, it's that you
used them in the wrong order. Thompson's is a SEALANT.
it's supposed to keep things from soaking into the wood.
