Obviously, you are doing something incorrectly in the process of setting up the MySet configuration. There are a lot of steps to do it, it's easy to make a mistake. Since I had to create a setting for my 1941 Zeiss Biotar 40mm f/2, I documented the process.
Oh, one mistake on my part: the lens name is appended to the camera name, not the MySet name. (I'd named the MySets the same as the Lens Name on my previous configs, so it confused me.)
Take a look the photos (click the composite to open it in a separate window so you can see them side by side) to go along with the steps. (PS: Sorry for the crappy pictures. I did this quickly and didn't set up the GXR and cell phone on a stand or use a macro lens with a real camera... ;-)
1: Register my current settings, all set up for a 38mm lens, to an empty slot in the camera for the 40mm lens.
(Register settings 1, 2, 3)
2: Pick that MySet to edit.
(Edit settings 1, 2, 3)
3: Set the MySet name "Zeiss 40mm."
(Set MySet Name 1, 2, 3, 4)
4: Edit the lens info to reflect "Zeiss Biotar 40mm f/2". Note that I input the string, the focal length, then the maximum aperture of the lens. The EXIF information will always show the lens at maximum aperture as a result.
(Edit lens info 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
5: Recall the settings and place them on My1 position.
(Recall MySet 1, 2, 3, 4)
6: Set mode selector to My1.
(Set My1 mode)
7: Make test exposure
(Make test exposure)
8: Import into LR and check EXIF info in overlay and in Default metadata panel for DNG and JPEG files.
(Imported to LR 1, 2, 3, 4)
The good news is that you only have to do this once for the lenses you're going to use. Once you have the MySet configs stored on card or in the camera, you can just use the Recall My Settings command to put them on the mode selector when needed. You can store up to six MySets in the camera and another six on the card at any given time.
BTW: To be sure you don't lose MySets stored on the card, use Delete All rather than Format when erasing the card.
Good luck.
