P: Copy and pasting as layers from Illustrator creates an auto-renaming group

[Wabber_HM]

I think this might be a bug, but when shapes from Illustrator are copy and pasted as layers into Photoshop, the resulting group created in Photoshop behaves irregularly. Depending on the position of the group in the layer stack, it gets renamed almost incrementally. If the group is duplicated, it gets renamed to " copy" (if the option is enabled), suggesting the name is not really what it appears to be. Committing a rename on it will break this unusual behavior and it will act like a normal layer group.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a shape in Adobe Illustrator and copy it.
2. Paste it in Photoshop and choose the "Layers" option.
3. Create layers above or below the pasted group in the layer stack and watch as the group gets renamed autmoatically.

Here are some of my system specs reported by Photoshop.
