This problem was fixed in alpha 4.  Also, to prevent instances from being
disconnected from the ZClass, the ZClass must have a class id, which you can
edit in the ZClass basic view.  Instances that were copied and pasted 
(or exported and imported) before a class got an ID will be disconnected from
the class and will remain so.

I can not reproduce this.  The add list updates fine for me. Note that
you must delete the factory associated with the inner class. It is the
factory, not the class that afects the add  list.
