I've figured it out; the A4-F is using an idiom like this:

        <pick anim …>
                <objectname>A</>
                <objectname>B</>
                <objectname>C</>
        </pick>

        <select anim>
                <objectname>A</>
                .. condition…
        </select>

        <select anim>
                <objectname>B</>
                … condition…
        </select>

And so on. My new code is breaking this model, because I'm creating a group 
with all the objects (A,B,C) clustered together (which is considerably more 
efficient).

There is actually a work-around; re-order the XML so the selects occur before 
the pick, and everything is fine. Obviously this is a hack, and our animation 
files are supposed to be order-independant (I think? Never actually seen that 
stated as a requirement).

I'll figure out a proper fix now. The easy fix is /not/ to group multiple 
object-names together, but it's at the expense of more intermediate notes in 
the scene, alas.

James
