STAT: Composed names are sometimes including elided axis values

[m4rc1e]

I've noticed Samsa is including an elided Axis Value in the STAT's composed name field for a VF family which consists of two fonts, Roman and Italic.

If I ttx the font, I can see the Axis Value is elided (I know this Axis Value should't be a format 2)

        <AxisIndex value="1"/>
        <Flags value="2"/>
        <ValueNameID value="271"/>  <!-- Roman -->
        <NominalValue value="0.0"/>
        <RangeMinValue value="0.0"/>
        <RangeMaxValue value="0.0"/>
      </AxisValue>

I just converted the offending Axis Values to format 1 and it works just fine.

The square bracket (at the end of the elided name in your first message) indicates that your axis is not exactly on the nominal value of Roman. In these cases, Samsa is designed to include the name with the value appended in square brackets, e.g. “Roman[401]” or “Medium[588.22]”. Only when it’s exactly on the nominal value will an elided name drop out from a composed name.

Methods for composing names from arbitrary designspace locations are not in the spec, so Samsa and Adobe CC apps make their own rules.

I'm getting this issue when I'm selecting the Axis Values from the STAT panel, I'm not using the Axes slider. If I'm selecting an Axis Value from the STAT menu, I'd expect to get the nominal value back if the Axis Value is a Format 2.
