The reason for that is that when you export using the "Save marked
groups to a file" option, you are asking Athena to write several
groups to a common x-axis.  That is, the file will contain the energy
(in the case of mu(E) or norm(E)) in the first column, followed by
columns containing the data.  In order to do that, Athena interpolates
all data onto the energy grid of the first group.  To avoid
interpolation problems, Athena first computes the largest common range
in energy of the marked groups.  As a result, some groups might be
truncated.

As Jeremy suggests -- this is a feature, not a bug ;-)
