copying edit sequences into another sequence is swapping multicam shots

I've noticed a horrifying (for me) bug: when I drag & drop (or copy & paste) edit sequences into a compile sequence, my multicam shots are being swapped over at random.

This compile editing is all being done with the "insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual clips" switch on my edit timeline set to bringing in sequences as individual clips. When I edit in each of these stories as a nested sequence, the multicamera shots don't change (and there are only two camera angles on the multicamera shots)

The solution is to edit these source sequences from my source monitor into my program monitor (and the multicams are staying selected as they should be); but I don 't understand why drag & drop from my project window, or copy & paste from other timelines is causing my multicams to randomly swap multicam sources, but fortunately I can edit from a sequence in my source monitor into another sequence in my program monitor, and the multicam clips aren't swapping.

I'm compiling stories into segments in a productions project, I'm not sure if that's a factor (each story is created in it's own project, and then copied into the segment project)

Is there a basic premise of editing here in Premiere Pro that I've missed? MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)

Apple M1 16 inch Max Macbook Pro

64gb ram

Mac OSX 15.1

Premiere Pro 24.6.3

Yes- with this production, when I "copy & paste" or drag & drop sequences from one shot to another, someone multi camera angles will change, so I can't rely on copy &!pasteborvdrag & drop to move around sequences in different projects in my production. To add to this, I can't do an insert or over write edit from one timeline to a timeline in a different project in the same production.

I'm trying to understand the workflow here. You have edited sequences that contain multicams, and when you put them into a new sequence, the multicams show different angles?

If I got that right, this smells like a bug. I know Paul Murphy has used this workflow a lot, and it also how I usually work on larger projects.

I'm just planning on re-reading Jarle's guide to the productions workflow later today to see if there is something that I missed.
