Right, sorry, found more instructions to read now :-)
Pending mail below.

I should also note that the patch is for 2.53 beta and that it is only for
the file

/scripts/ui/properties_data_modifier.py

Since the user interface has been so awesomely customizable, it was not
necessary for me to checkout the code in order to make the modification,
so it is not a source tree diff.


hope it all makes more sense now

---pending mail, because i did not subscribe before emailing---
It is perhaps a little unfair to call this a user error. After all, the
vertices for the mirror groups do not exist before the modifier, so
why should the vertex groups?

It seems that the modifier should generate those vertex groups, and
that it is a data structure limitation if this cannot be done easily
(in a way that the mirrored vertex groups only exist "after" the
modifier).

I have created a small patch, that adds a button that will generate
empty mirrored vertex groups. It is perhaps not the nicest ui, but
could eliminate some unnecessary confusion...
