What happens to expand role when I use adhoc role mechanism?

i have to define a simple process that circulates a notification to different users and roles e.g Manager(role), MIKE(user) etc(notification response is not required). i have used AdhocRole Mechanism. i create an Adhoc Role at runtime and then assign a (space or comma separated) list of users/roles to it. furthermore i have also "checked" expand roles. as a result this notification can now be received by all the users associated with the specified role(say Henry, Tom as MANAGER) in userlist of Adhoc role plus the notification also goes to other users(say Mike) which do not belong to any role.
Now there are two cases
1. if one of the simple users added to adhoc role (say Mike) closes this notification, it will not affect the notification recieved by Manager role (it will not be closed for Henry and Tom) which is right
2. but if one of the users of the role (say Henry:having Manager Role) closes the notification, the notification is also closed for all the other users (say Tom) belonging to Manager Role. (which i think is wrong)
To further check it i defined another simple process without using adhoc role(CREATEADHOCROLE & ADDUSERSTOADHOCROLE APIs) mechanism. instead i simply "checked" expand role for this notification and its performer is a role containing many users.
In this scenario when any of the users belonging to this role closes the notification it does not affect the notification status for other users of this role(they can view it unless they by themselves close this notification) which should be rightly so.
What happens to expand role when I use adhoc role mechanism? Although the notification distribution(expansion to all users of the role) is ok but closing a notification does not behave in an appropriate way. Can anyone help me plzzzzzzzzz.
