using field_collection: Version: 7.x-1.0-beta10+1-dev with fieldgroup: 7.x-2.x-dev

this applies to node edit form. i haven't tested the node view because its beyond the scope of my use case but problem may also apply there.

if i define a fieldgroup inside a field collection, all the fields contained within the group are hidden in the node form.

compare:

node
-- field collection (contains)
   [field-group
     --field (hidden in node form)
     --field (hidden)
     --field (hidden)
  ]

with

node
-- field collection (contains)
     --field (visible)
     --field (visible)
     --field (visible)
     --[field-group] (redundant).

the only way i can embed a field collection in a fieldgroup is to define a group in the containing content type and embed my field collection within it (i.e. indent the field collection under the field grop in the field UI).

the only workaround i can see is to make all fields available on the node, which negates the use of the fieldcollection for any display using groups.

im grateful for any early advice and assistance as i have based my design on the assumption of this just working.
