Odd ballooning effect when Cloth and RBD solvers merged

I was messing about with a finished version of Dynamics Quickstart
tutorial (table cloth, vase, ball). All works fine except for an odd ‘ballooning’ effect that looks like the table top is ‘swelling’ out through the cloth. Yet I don't think its really the table top-its almost like a foreign piece of geometry is present. :?

It seems to come from the Merging of the RBD system (the ball) and the Cloth Solver. If I bypass the merge and connect each solver by itself to the Gravity node then the results are as expected. There isn't a lot of options with Merge so I'm not sure if there is a way around it.
Any idea whats going on? and if there is a better way to link the two
(besides keeping them seperate?)

-thanks

I think I've got it sorted. It appears to be related to the connection order.

-still if there is any thoughts as to ‘why’ this is the case I am happy to hear 'em.
