Hi @Maxdanger,
I confirm there's still issues with groups and setting the Selection Box which do not appear to be logged.
I've reproduced these issues here and will fill a report accordingly. Thanks for your feedback.

Is there a bug ID or a thread for this bug?

I assume it's the same issue as in this recording.

It's officially logged under AF-1761...

I'm not sure if I use "Set Selection Box" correctly, but when I group, the selection box seems ignored. 

I use iPad Pro, iPadOS 17.6, and the Affinity Publisher 2.5 1c794.

I have this image (picture 1), see the enclosed example file (it's a stylised origami Santa). All three objects are rotated, not with the same amount.

I cycle and Set Selection Box on each of the three objects. Looks fine (picture 2), also when I select all of them (picture 3).

Then, when I Group the three objects, the resulting box boundary does not bound the Set selection boxes, but the original boundaries (picture 4). 

Which surely was not what I wanted: I want a group which can be layouted, rotated, etc. based on the normalised boundary box, like the one in the third picture.

I think I found another quirk of the Cycle/Set Selection Box features.  It doesn't track to crop boxes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create any shape
2. Rotate it 45 degrees
3. Select the shape and select a different bounding box orientation by cycling
4. Set the new orientation
5. Select the crop tool: the orientation is the same as after the first rotation
