I assume [2] works because force_hosts is an administrative override 
during server create. Did you create [2] after [1]? Or concurrently? It 
does seem odd that [2] would pass the ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter even 
with the forced host. Seems that should be a 409 or 400 type of case.

The behavior with [3] is what I would expect, but haven't dug into the 
code. Maybe the forced_host is overriding the requested server group?
