rcase-Recurse with xs:redefine nested groups

I'm getting a validation error when I try to restrict the content of nested
groups with xs:redefine whereas the same restriction on xs:element's validates.

============== BASE XMLSCHEMA =================

I get the following error message.

and curiously if I change the maxOccurs for the *other* element to a random
value such as 42 I get the following error message.

with the xml file unchanged I get the following error message. Note the 42!

As I seem to understand it the problem is the same as I ran into previously
with the removal of 'pointless' xs:sequences. When I remove the second
element, through the xs:group reference, the xs:sequence holds only one
child and so becomes 'pointless' and is correctly removed at which point the
occurance range of the parent group is that of it's child element which is
(0,42) when in the original it was (1,1), the default.

I haven't worked out a solution yet but adding a dummy element to the
group stopping it from being removed does as expected make it validate.
