Chaos + Aloc = A whole lotta WTF

Ok, let me preface by saying that I have done a large amount of searching and reading on this topic. I've read Grater's Thread, which details exactly what I want to do, which is create an unselectable, but targettable unit. I have managed to do just that, but encountered a strange problem. Every guide tells you to create a Chaos ability which morphs the unit into the same unit-type. But when I made my map, I discovered that the trick would NOT work when the unit is transformed into the same unit-type, but WOULD work when it is transformed into a different unit-type before the Locust ability is added. Attached is a demo map showing this bug. Simply change the spell data in the ability based off of Chaos called Chaos (Water Elemental) unit besides a water elemental, and the trick will work. If, however, you leave the field as a water elemental, then the unit will be untargettable. I have not read about anyone encountering this problem, and I am utterly baffled and frustrated. help.

I'm not submitting anything new here. (The chaos + aloc thing has been known for a long time) Instead, I'm asking for help about the bug which I have mentioned.

I never knew of this, lol.
Well thanks for showing some of us who dident know :P.

Anyway, what bug? I tried the map and nothing seemed to go wrong.

Well that makes it all the more puzzling...When you summoned the water elemental (Spell field is water elemental lv 1), then the chaos ability (water elemental lv 1 in the unit field), then it worked properly? If this is indeed true, then I have some kind of problem specific to my computer, which horrifies me more than any other kind of bug.

I'm fairly sure that chaos that changes the unit into itself doesn't actually do anything.

Yes, nothing went wrong for me, i summed the elemental (which i changed chaos to a peasent) and a peasent spawned, i could not click on him at all, but when i click attack (a) then hover over the peasent, i can click on him to attack him. I dident see anything wrong, or any bugs.
