Test action group (styled as not available)
all actions:

An action (not available)
Another action (not available)

So above, your project is sequential. Okay. I get that.

If I switch both project and action group to parallel, I get:
rem/ava:
project view:
4 remaining
drilled in:
Test action
Test action group (styled as not available)
all actions:
Test action
An action
Another action (all available)
ava/ava:
project view:
3 available
drilled in:
Test action
all actions:
(again, option not provided)

The last one here is the closest to what I've got, but it's not the behavior I'm experiencing.
ETA: After reading this back, yes, it is what I'm experiencing. Why aren't An Action and Another Action showing? That's the crux of my issue.

Remember, an action group isn't available until all of its actions are complete, so if you are showing Available only, an action group won't appear if it has any incomplete actions. Does that clear it up for you?

I see now that I worded my title carelessly. It's not that the action group itself (parent) isn't available. It's that the sub-actions (children) aren't available. From your next to last sentence above, I have incomplete actions that are showing in the counts but aren't showing up when I drill down.
I went back and double checked that the action groups themselves aren't set to sequential and they aren't. They're parallel.
Situation #1
I've got:
SAL
Action group (parallel)
-action 1
-action 2
In this situation when I set it to rem/ava
I get the action group showing as grayed out and Action 1 and 2 showing when I drill down past the grayed out action
When I set it to ava/ava it says 2 available (it knows that the two actions are available) but when I drill down, it says no action. It's like the fact that the action group isn't available is blocking the actions from becoming available.
Situation #2
And I've got
Project (parallel)
Action group (parallel)
-action 1
-action 2
Action
In this situation when I set it to rem/ava
I get the action group showing as grayed out and Action 1 and 2 showing when I drill down past the grayed out action. The separate Action is showing as expected.
When I set it to ava/ava it says 3 available (again, it knows that the two actions are available) but when I drill down, it only shows the separate Action.
If this is still unclear, I can attempt some screen shots.
