Male shape in avatar.blend has strange errors

Hello, I have dowloaded the avatar.blend and it looks very nice. I love having the shape keys. I have a problem though, when I switch to the male settings and go into edit mode. several verticies abruptly stick out and the mirror functions don’t work right. I don’t have this problem working with the female form. It is in the avatar workbench file too. I left them a message as well.
LOL! I found the problem. It was a blender function. Just below the shape key box there is a little button that says "Apply shape key in edit mode". I click that and all is well, also no more strange shapes when I click on shape keys.

Hmm... That fixed the odd verticies when going in to edit mode, dut I still have a problem with verticies that stick. It seems to be related to verticie groups, but when I try to assign the mising verticies to the group (ei Male_Leg) the shape changes back the the base female shape.
