I believe that you are correct, and that is indeed the cause of my
problem.  I just am a little unclear how to solve it. :-)

My real problem is this...

Goal: Have every member of the sysadmin group get a copy of an email
when a ticket comes in with no owner.
Overkill Solution: Add sysadmin as an AdminCC for the queue and do a On
Create Notify AdminCCs as Comment.

While that works it has the unpleasant side effects I previously
described.  What I think I really wanted was:

Lighter Solution:  Define an On Create scrip called NotifySysadmins
whose action is a user defined one that notifies everyone in the
sysadmin group with the existing Admin Comment template.

So I guess (sorry for thinking out loud here) what I need to know is how
to define an On Create scrip which calls a custom action that notifies
sysadmin.   I couldn't quite figure that out, so my hack was to make
sysadmin an AdminCC, since we already have a Notify AdminCCs as Comment
action. 

I'm off to RTFM and figure out how to define a Notify sysadmin group as
Comment action, but if anyone knows this off the top of their head, I'd
be very thankful. :-)
