'Only Affecting Self' interaction with powers

[srmalloy]

I'm not sure whether it's a bug or WAI, but "Mark and Recall" is unusable when your character is flagged as "Only Affecting Self", even though it's a power that only affects your character. Is this because it spawns a pseudo-pet at the mark location or something similar, so that the game identifies it as affecting something other than just you, and if so, should this be changed?

It also grabs any hostages, etc... that you're leading, so technically it does affect others.
