Apologies, I was half tempted to stick this on github but not sure if it's easily recreated, nor if it's a problem with the contrib module, is that possible? Anyway here's my rambling version:
Importing some flows I've done on an even older version (1.0.6 no subflow support) on my Raspberry Pi Zero in a greenhouse, to my indoor Raspberry Pi 3B(+?) running 1.3.4. To make my flows work I obviously needed to manage my palette and add support for an i2c temp/humidity sensor SHT3x and did so, then also an i2c ADC chip ADS1x15. This was the curious point. As I knew what was coming, I first didn't even switch to the flows with errors but instead went straight to palette manager. I added the SHT3x package and viewed the log, closed it before it finished and then mused for a second, at which point NodeRed flashed/refreshed so I knew the package was done. I switched to the SHT3x flow and saw the nodes were now valid. I then switched over to the flow with the ADC nodes, dashed outlines as the module was missing. I loaded package manager and started the module installing, closed the manager and I switched off the flow with the ADC and back to the one with the SHT3x, while the ADC module was installing, and then once installed the ADC nodes from the flow I was on when I started the module installing appeared on my SHT3x flow.
Recreation steps: Setup a new flow, then import these two flows. Go to the Flow1 page, then trigger install of the first module, immediately view log and close dialog before install finishes then wait for screen to flash or 1minute (signifying install finished). Then goto flow2(SHT3x flow named fswebcam) and verify nodes, then goto flow 3(called pwd but uses 3x ADC nodes), start install and view log and immediately close dialog and return to flow2. Expect 3 adc nodes to appear on flow2 by mistake.
