I did not phrase that well (and had the details wrong).  What actually
happens is that the returned long ID of objects in shared groups changes
depending on whether a card containing that group has been visited.  If a
card has been visited, then "group id x of card id y" is returned.  If not,
then "bkgnd id x" is returned.  Probably not an issue for most, but if
looking to generate long IDs that are always the same for a given object
then it is.
