I agree with that, that's why I thought the behavior I was seeing was so weird. I started using a fresh copy of the stack and all now works as expected so there must have been some corruption in the version of the stack I was using.
There might be an existing way to find out the "progenitor" - the cardNames of a group gives a list of all the card names that group appears on and, without exhaustive testing, it appears that the first line of that list might be the progenitor.
