I see where you would think that, given the default binding for `M c'
and `M x' .  I never used those bindings or even knew about them
before.

My comments were about "META-c" and META-x in group buffer.

Imagine you start to say `M-x apropos <RET>' but hit `M-c' first
instead.  Oops all marks are erased from the entire group.
