Believe it or not, but the same thing happened to me the other day, by
doing the same sequence of operations. I was also trying to kill all
my zombie groups.
I was able to get my groups back by resubscribing, but their marks
were completely messed up.

It's very poorly documented, and hence, very dangerous. I'm unable to
ascertain the intended behaviour of `M r' (short of reading the
source), but its current behaviour is completely whacked.
