No, layer sets/groups are "folders" that can contain layers or nested folders/layers as in this image:
The problem was my original code was too simplistic and did not take layer groups/sets into account. I have since updated the code and will repost it shortly.

I hope you dont mind. I added something parts from "Layer Comps to Files" so when there are layers with the same name it will index those. I added a little timer i found in one of Tom Ruarks script, so i could time the difference. I dint really notice a big impact of the extra check. You can find that check in the beginning of the main function.
Below you see layers with the same name get an index, therefor they wont be overwritten. I thought that would be nice

Note: There is no error checking for duplicate layer names (therefore the lowest layer in the stack with the same name would be saved).
Original script revised to include smart objects in layer sets (layer groups)... With special thanks to Christoph Pfaffenbichler for the recursive SO processing framework:
