Jenny, Kristin has to use the Override I think because she doesn't have a sensible specific Master Source Name so has to override what would print with the specific database name.
Kristin, You can always expect problems when you don't use features as intended. Overrides are for exceptions. But I don't know why it isn't in the Gedcom. In the Gedcom export have you checked "override source options - include all source information? It may be struggling because the Master Source you are using only has your personal name and not a Title. I don't know whether the personal Source Name is exported as part of a gedcom and I haven't time this week to test that. It couldn't attach the override to nothing. 2 ideas.
