Thanks to all for their advice on this. There *was* an 'apply-groups' command for all interfaces nested deep within the configurations (and apparently our memory cells too).
This was not seen with the 'display inheritance' command as (and I am guessing here), initially (before MLPPP configurations were added) the interface was configured with no IP address configured, and so no 'unit 0' entries, and so nothing to inherit per se. Well nothing, until adding in the bundle command created the 'family mlppp' under unit 0, and then committing tried to add in the 'family inet' group additions through the 'apply-groups' command. Bang. Adding in the 'apply-groups-except' command worked like a charm.
