Description
Subsampling seems to fail to replicate the original properties of the datasets, giving strangely different results. I suspect we are not quite sampling or weighting the records correctly.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the subsampling behavior and comparing the resulting dataset properties with the original. Trace the sampling and record-weighting paths; the issue is done when subsampled datasets replicate the original properties without the reported discrepancies.
