Léonie -- thanks. Any idea why?

Version stacks are the only kind of stack I ever use. I tend to delete images until there is only one acceptable shot left and no need to stack anything.
Almost exactly the same workflow here. I make two kinds of Stacks as soon as I import a shoot:
- photos that were taken of the same scene but with minor variations in settings (aperture, exposure compensation), and
- photos taken as a series to be combined (focus stacking, panorama stitching, etc.).
My rule for the first is that I must pick "the technically best and most useful" photo from each of the first kind of stacks before proceeding with any development, culling, etc. Like you, I delete every photo in these stacks that is not acceptable (and often delete the whole Stack). If there are two Images which I wish to develop in one of these Stacks, I separate them (un-Stack them). In this way, like you, I don't move forward with making Version Stacks without first ensuring that I have no non-Version Stacks in the Project.
The execption is my second kind of initial stacking -- photos that will be combined to make one picture. These I label "Yellow" and keep together. The picture I make from these is added to the Stack and set as the pick. This Image (the picture becomes an Image when I import it or save it from a plug-in) and any Versions of it are treated normally (they stay in the Stack). They are differentiated from the generative original Images by not carrying a yellow label.
