Dynamic Locations Problem. Bug?

I got a question from a client that I couldn't answer. So I build a very simple model and it looks like it might be a bug. In the original question a small piece of code was used to determine from which group to take a location, but in the attached model I used the standard case statement. In the first go it takes a location but in the 2nd round it can't find one. Can somebody (@Matthew Gillespie ?) take a look and determine if I do something wrong or if it is indeed a bug?

I think you need to uncheck "Same as last acquired" in the AcquireLocation advanced pull down options, and add a task to have the operator walk away from the location...?

@jason.lightfoot Thanks it works, and I kind of understand why because you try to claim a location that is not in the group your searching. But should this checkbox not be off by default then......

@steven.hamoen That checkbox is checked because it is very common in Healthcare models to reacquire the same nurse you were using in an earlier step. Modelling a loop with a dynamically changing resource is the less common use case.

@Matthew Gillespie I agree with you for a staff resource but for a location resource?
