more HTP problems, or RTFM event?

I had a designer that wanted three handles per fixture type, each with fixture intensity and a position, so that she could bring up any handle to control level and execute a position. I set each cuelist to go off zero, thinking this would be easy.
Simple enough, except that whenever a fader was up and she would raise another controlling the same group, the intensity for that group would bump out as soon as the new fader engaged the new cue. So essentially it was treating intensity as an LTP parameter. It seems to me intensity should always default to an HTP parameter, but what was more disconcerting was that even setting the cuelist to use HTP had no effect. Seems to me with all the faders set to use HTP, the faders should use HTP.
Or am I missing something.
Forgive if this has been discussed, I can't imagine something this obvious has gone unnoticed.
