This current behavior is correct. In your step where you click and drag, it's the group that is being selected and dragged and if the group is selected then that means that the entire group object will be dragged.
That's one of the main things that Groups is for, to make a set of objects all transform together as one unit.
If you want to move only the one object you'll need to do a "drill in" selection clicking on it so just that sub-object is selected and not the entire group.
It's similar behavior as with BRep sub objects. In v4 if you draw a box and select an edge of the box and lock it, if you then drag the box the locked edge is not left behind, it goes along with the box.
Locking a sub-object prevents it from being targeted individually for selection, it does not stop it from being transformed if its parent object is being transformed.
