Changing VM Group causes the .vbox snapshot statefile value to become corrupt, making snapshots invalid
Basically, I have some VMs that have several sequential snapshots taken. And sometimes I move those VMs into a group, and sometimes I move them out of a group. It turns out that this causes damage to the .vbox file, specifically the snapshot statefile value.
This is on a Windows 8.1 x64 host.
Inside of the .vbox file, I see lines like:
<Snapshot uuid="{496ab03a-2741-44ff-8eb9-f65ef4903835}" name="Snapshot 1" timeStamp="2014-07-14T19:27:23Z" stateFile="Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-14T19-27-23-544711400Z.sav"> .... <Snapshot uuid="{fab398f5-5b9f-47f4-a1ae-360584481820}" name="Snapshot 2" timeStamp="2014-07-14T21:39:20Z" stateFile="Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-14T21-39-20-146504400Z.sav"> .... <Snapshot uuid="{d1a3af0f-7f1b-4628-acc0-737f535dfa3b}" name="Snapshot 3" timeStamp="2014-07-15T04:19:57Z" stateFile="Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T04-19-57-096021800Z.sav"> .... <Snapshot uuid="{9455a652-f640-4769-bff8-06812d39549c}" name="Snapshot 4" timeStamp="2014-07-15T21:57:44Z" stateFile="Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-58-06-472936600Z.sav/Snapshots/2014-07-15T21-57-44-771739300Z.sav">
Every time I move the VM out of a group, and back into a group, the "chain" of ".sav" files for that value keeps growing.
This later causes problems, I believe, when snapshots are either copied in a cloning process, or attempted to be deleted.
Can you please confirm that this "stateFile" value is being corrupted?
Thanks, Jacob

This is still an issue. Reopening.
Here are some steps, that easily reproduce the issue on VirtualBox 5.1.12:
- Add Machine
- Start
- Take Snapshot
- Power Off
- Restore Snapshot
- Clone with options: Full Clone, Everything
... all good so far. Might want to save off the .vbox file, for later comparison.
- Right-click Clone, select Group
- Right-click "New group", select Ungroup
- Right-click Clone, select Group
- Right-click "New group", select Ungroup
... at this point, paths are mangled within the VM's .vbox file, I believe. Compare .vbox.
- Restore Snapshot (on the Clone)
- Try to Start (the Clone)
- Get ERROR 1
- Try to Remove -> Delete all files (on the Clone)
- Get ERROR 2

I was using the "Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager" to change VM groups, including: Right-clicking a VM and clicking "New Group", right-clicking the group and renaming it, and dragging VMs into a group and out of a group.
