Body: <p>I'm importing a CSV of contacts with a relationship to other contacts and adding the new contacts to a group. To my surprise, the group ended up with more contacts than I had imported.

  <p>Bug that should be reported? Strange, but expected behaviour?</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, in this case, the relationship was employee of and the employer contacts were of a different type.</p>
