Diagram connectors markers misplaced when connecting to grouped objects (uses wrong bounding box)

[Silex]

When you group two overlapping objects together, and then connect the connector tool (e.g using arrows on each start/end markers) to the boxes, it always connects to object that is in the background instead of the whole group bounding box. This has the effect that the arrow is in the object group. See the attached file for an example.

[Joshua Blocher (verbalshadow)]

When objects are grouped the connector tool always uses the lowest object in the z-order bounding box

Bug #617810 “Connector markers alignment to group depends on orientation (should be invariant)”
(<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/617810>) reveals a similar issue which only happens if the lowest object inside a transformed group has a preserved 'transform' attribute (reproducible in 0.47 and 0.48.0(+devel)).
