I looked .... You made some changes there in gnucap-uf (the
frozen flag), so the bug didn't show in that test case.
Remembering .... very old versions of gnucap and its
predecessors handled this differently, which didn't necessarily
lose the probes when expanded again, but it crashed sometimes.
That was before I was doing such rigorous testing.
That test case just added a resistor, didn't change the node
map.
So I made another test case that adds a node. gnucap-uf then
gave wrong answers because of a mismatch because the subcircuit
wasn't remapped. I have some ideas, but for now losing the
probes is less of a problem than the alternatives.

Not really surprising. autotools does a lot, all mixed up, in a
very complex way that is impossible to test adequately.
