Perspective transform of selection incorrectly applies to whole image when layer group is selected

Description
Created attachment 352225 Example file with steps 1-3 complete
Steps to reproduce:
- Make a layer inside a layer group.
- Using any selection mechanism, select a portion of the layer.
- Make sure the LAYER GROUP is selected in the dialog.
- Use the perspective transform too.
Expected behavior: After confirmation, the selected region will be transformed, to match the transform preview.
Actual behavior: The transform preview shows what we would expect, which is the transform operation applied to only the selected pixels of all layers in the layer group, but upon applying the transformation, the selection is ignored and all pixels in all layers in the layer group are transformed.
Very frustrating as it seems impossible to apply the same transformation to a selection of multiple layers in any other convenient way, and the preview so tantalizingly works correctly...
