4788: A non-member was removed from a basic application group..

On this page

Apparently this event is supposed to be logged when you remove an exclusion from a basic application group but instead Windows logs 4786 with no indication that the member is an excluded member.

I haven't been able to produce this event. Have you? If so, please start a discussion (see above) and post a sample along with any comments you may have! Don't forget to sanitize any private information.
