[1.0] Preferred Character list not working correctly?

[Grubfist]

After some testing on why I could not get my character to show up in my starting survivors, it seems anyone whose name is marked with a (B] as opposed to an [N] in the preferred character list doesn't seem to show up consistently, sometimes at all, when randoming starting characters. Characters marked with [N] seem to show up quite frequently, which is how this feature tended to work in the past as well, and thus is what I expected.

I am assuming (B] is "backstory in game" and [N] is "name in game" packs.
The backstories appear to be in the game, but chances of getting them in your game may not be increased by the preferred character list, as you would expect. While my testing was not incredibly extensive, this seemed to exclusively affect the (B] characters.

EDIT: Had to change some brackets, as I was just bolding some text in this explanation, making it quite confusing.
As a note, every instance of (B] should have a left bracket instead of a left parenthesis in the preferred character list.

His data is in the game; we'll have to check the spawning probability code.
