Another one (fails with TaxonNotFoundException):

curl 'http://api.opentreeoflife.org/treemachine/v1/getDraftTreeMRCAForNodes' -H 'Origin: http://tree.opentreeoflife.org' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36' -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01' -H 'Referer: http://tree.opentreeoflife.org/curator/study/edit/pg_2760/?tab=trees&tree=tree6375' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --data-binary '{"ottIds":[438694,746955,845949,9042,9042,746949,93910,101878,83477,621393,1088460,274335,274335,97227,797786,837665,476860,643101,643105]}' --compressed

This one works, returns Rhizocephala:

curl 'http://api.opentreeoflife.org/treemachine/v1/getDraftTreeMRCAForNodes' -H 'Origin: http://tree.opentreeoflife.org' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36' -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01' -H 'Referer: http://tree.opentreeoflife.org/curator/study/edit/ot_98?tab=trees&tree=tree1' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --data-binary '{"ottIds":[458843,251974,664820,414909,777759,1071395,458842]}' --compressed

This one works as expected, submitting just four taxon IDs from the ingroup:

• 251974 (Heterosaccus californicus)
• 791782 (Heterosaccus dollfusi)
• 859010 (Heterosaccus lunatus)
• 468102 (Heterosaccus papillosus)

But it returns a much deeper MRCA than expected (Rhizocephala, ottid: 363885):
http://tree.opentreeoflife.org/curator/study/edit/ot_75/?tab=trees&tree=tree1

curl 'http://api.opentreeoflife.org/treemachine/v1/getDraftTreeMRCAForNodes' -H 'Origin: http://tree.opentreeoflife.org' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36' -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01' -H 'Referer: http://tree.opentreeoflife.org/curator/study/edit/ot_75/?tab=trees&tree=tree1' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --data-binary '{"ottIds":[251974,791782,859010,468102]}' --compressed

So this looks more like a problem with the MRCA reckoning than the submitting app.
