[Pacemaker] Odd cluster constraint behaviour

I'm not sure if I've configured things correctly, as the last time I did
this was on Heartbeat 2.0.7 or so. It's either that as a bug (and it's far
more likely I've stuffed something up):
 * there are two resource groups, one with higher priority (master) and one with
   lower priority (slave) - note that I'm not actually configuring them as master/slave resources
 * two nodes in the cluster (A and B)
 * they are constrained to run:
  - only if a pingd instance is successfully running
  - colocated with -INFINITY to each other (i.e. cannot run together)
  - in the order of the "master" resource group and then the "slave" resource group
  - preferring resource group "master" running on node A

With the cluster in its default running state of "master" on A, and "slave" on B,
everything seems fine. When I "fail" node A, "slave" stops on node B but then no
resources are started on node B. It's clearly a conflict of constraints, or
the resource group priorities being ignored but I can pick it.

Here are (hopefully) the relevant snippets of CIB:

    <resources>
      <group id="master">
        <meta_attributes id="master-meta_attributes">
          <nvpair id="master-meta_attributes-priority" name="priority" value="1000"/>
        </meta_attributes>

      <group id="slave">
        <meta_attributes id="slave-meta_attributes">
          <nvpair id="slave-meta_attributes-priority" name="priority" value="0"/>
        </meta_attributes>

      <clone id="pingdclone">
        <meta_attributes id="pingdclone-meta_attributes">
          <nvpair id="pingdclone-meta_attributes-globally-unique" name="globally-unique" value="false"/>
        </meta_attributes>
        <primitive class="ocf" id="pingd" provider="pacemaker" type="pingd">
          <instance_attributes id="pingd-instance_attributes">
            <nvpair id="pingd-instance_attributes-host_list" name="host_list" value="X.X.X.X"/>
            <nvpair id="pingd-instance_attributes-multiplier" name="multiplier" value="100"/>
          </instance_attributes>
          <operations>
            <op id="pingd-monitor-15s" interval="15s" name="monitor" timeout="5s"/>
          </operations>
        </primitive>
      </clone>
    </resources>
    <constraints>
      <rsc_location id="cli-prefer-master0" node="nodeA" rsc="master" score="1000"/>
      <rsc_location id="cli-prefer-master1" node="nodeB" rsc="master" score="0"/>
      <rsc_colocation id="separate_master_and_slave" rsc="master" score="-INFINITY" with-rsc="slave"/>
    </constraints>

Any help would be appreciated.
