Dashboard 2, ui-node in subflow, unable to position widget in group

Has anyone else experimented with ui nodes inside a subflow? I have a ui-template in a subflow with the Group configured via an subflow property. It functions correctly except that the position of the widget in the group does not work at all. When the subflow is first added it appears at the top of the group, but if it is moved in the dashboard layout pane it moves to the bottom of the group and nothing I do seems to change that. I have tried restarting node-red, clearing the browser cache etc but the widget remains stubbornly stuck at the bottom.

In fact it is not specific to ui-template nodes. Below is a simple example with a text node in a subflow and two other widgets in a group. The subflow text node can be placed at the top or the bottom (it is often necessary to restart node-red to achieve this) but it cannot be placed between the two.

I will raise an issue, but if anyone has a workaround that would be appreciated as this is holding me up.
