I think what happens (cannot verify right now) is that reference to a deployment server is stored in nbproject/private/private.properties file which is (intentionally) not copied to new location and when project is opened IDE matches it with any server which is EE6 compatible which in your case is GF3 instead of GF3.1.
I agree. It does not bother me. I just reported it in case there could be other issues with it.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
