It's not just the nodes name that's removed, it's the redundant group itself.
Some loaders clean the final scene graph of nodes that are not strictly needed
in order to improve performance. perfly also calls pfdCleanTree() after loading
a database which does the same thing. This is what you are seeing.

Polygons and vertices are not nodes in Performer's scene graph. They are
primitive elements of pfGeoSet objects (which are also not nodes).

Regards.
