Apple Color changes shot numbers in a reconform?

Question

Hi all,
I've been wrestling with sending a project between FCP and Color.  It's my first time out, so I had a few things on the timeline that may have been problematic.  At any rate, the "Send to FCP" has been failing, so I have been jettisoning potential problems from the FCP sequence and reconforming.
I noticed, however, that after I first reconformed (after replacing 4 speed-adjusted clips with self-contained quicktimes) Color listed these shots at the end of the shot browser.  Where before the reconform I had 2331 shots, I now had 2335 shots; and though the new quicktimes replaced shots 12, 15, 17 and 22 in the edit, they were numbered at the end the shot browser as shots 2332, 2333, 2334 and 2335.   This seems to conflict with the Color manual's description of the shot number column in the shot browser: "Number: Lists a shot's position in the edit. The first shot is 1, the second is 2, and so on."
A similar thing happened with another shot on a subsequent reconform; a replacement shot that should have been at about shot #2229 according to its "position in the edit" was instead listed in the shot browser as shot #19.   Note that these reconformed shots appear in the correct place in the Color timeline, but the shot number does not list its "position in the edit."
Evidently one of the following things is true: 1) this is the way it is supposed to work; 2) I am doing something wrong; 3) there is something wrong in the xml.  Thoughts?
