Tried with 3.5 and 3.0 using the Metacard IDE.

Objects in a group can be edited both with 3.0 and 3.5, but clicking on 
an object is not reflected in the Control Browser (hiliting the specific 
line of the Control Browser) with 3.5. If you ask about the layer, you 
will indeed get the same number for all objects of the group and this 
number seems to be near the total number of objects on  the card in 
question.
