I think you may need to check with a different user. There’s some magic that removes Discobot and System from the trust level groups so anything trust level group-based using those users will give you funky results (they currently get re-added each time you update your forum, and then are removed again a short time after).

If you could create a specific test user to try this out with the results will be much clearer.
