Hello, the title says it: the _this parameter acts weirdly and alternates between the "caller person to whom the action is shown" (from the wiki) and the selected unit.

When you press f2 the action gets shown to squad unit hence you see it printed, so you get output for 2 units instead of 1. As soon as you move beyond 50m it disappears. So working as expected

the action gets shown to squad unit
ah yes, got it after using the advanced commanding menu - it also happens when only one unit is selected, as planned.
Thanks for the check!
