Interesting -- what changed everything was the way the subtree for a
group is labelled:
- my initial version was:
  let title = IniFile.title (IniFile.record_re - /^end$/)
- your proposal is:
  let title = IniFile.title_label "@group" (IniFile.record_re - /^end$/)

Indeed your version does not have union.put overlap issues. I adopted
this change (thanks!), and sent it as RR:
https://github.com/hercules-team/augeas/pull/594
... which you just merged (thanks!).

Still I'm curious to know why using the same string as label for a
subtree is problematic.
