Nope. You haven't misunderstood. As I seem to recall that TC
mentioned in a very recent posting, not all the fl_set_object*() stuff
works right with groups yet. I believe he's working on a fix. Next
release??

My hack is to just chain through the object list starting at the
beginning of the group, terminating at the end of the group,
obviously, and make the mods myself. The code is pretty nearly
trivial.
