Is this a known quirk/bug, or am I missing something obvious?
It's nearly a year since this was first raised in the forums: I wondered if anyone has found a work-around (apart from asking people posting group events to add the course title as part of the event).
I did not quickly find a feature request in Moodle Tracker about this issue and added one. The number is MDL-27074. Please do no hesitate to vote for it, add comments, etc.
I voted for this!
Me too - let's hope it gets some attention. Thank you moodle developers!
I have heard from several persons that they had problems voting for an issue (in this case MDL-27074). You have to have an account on the moodle tracker in order to be able to vote. VERY IMPORTANT: This is NOT the same account as the one on moodle.org.
For more information on this see:

Please do not hesitate to vote for MDL-27074. It can only help.
This issue should have a serious chance to get treated and solved relatively quickly since such facilities are provided since a long time in Dokeos for instance.
