Actually, the WPX rules changed one or two years ago (can't remember 
exactly), and a numbering per band is *now* used for the M/S (and all 
multi) categories :

See IV 2/ (a), (b) and (c).

The CQ WPX committee modified this to prevent (at best) duplicate serial 
sent, especially when they introduced the 10 min. rules to work mults on 
a separate band.

You hit a bug ;-)  In the WPX, you currently *can* edit the serial sent 
by using Edit / Edit serial number, but it has been forgotten for the 
SS. Just fixed and the next nightly build will include this fix. As this 
operation is pretty unusual, and to prevent unwanted modifications, we 
dedicated a separate menu item for it, rather than allowing it in the 
usual QSO edition functions.
