Mikko, you should check again, by default it add an fcurve to the mixer's clip weight, the parameter you can in the automaticaly created custom ppg is a Proxy of clip's weight

Made test and Select Shape Key adds fcurve to custom parameter, not mixer,
and it clears mixer. No I don't like it. I haven't used this feature fore
a long time. You could use separate head for collecting the shapes and
gator tham to next one.
Again I may not fully understand why so I'm in same boat.
Cheers,
Mikko
