I should have said "refer to the child control by ID or name" - neither
of which are affected by grouping.

If you use the "owner" method of getting the group's ID, be sure you
refer to the child control by ID - its number will *always* be changed
by the act of grouping it.

Apparently the "group" command is an exception to the general rule

And using "last" is not always reliable with groups.
Since your script knows which object(s) you grouped, you could use
the owner:
group field 1 and field 2
get the long ID of the owner of field 1 -- owner is the new group
