To combine the fixes from both threads, I replaced:

// Add field menu_order.
if( !isset($count[ $field['parent'] ]) ) {
        $count[ $field['parent'] ] = 1;
} else {
        $count[ $field['parent'] ]++;
}

// Only add menu order if doesn't already exist.
// Allows Flexible Content field to set custom order.
if( !isset($field['menu_order']) ) {
        $field['menu_order'] = ($count[ $field['parent'] ] - 1);
}

on lines 1029-1040 of acf-field-group-functions.php with

// Add field menu_order.
if (!isset($field['parent_layout'])) {
    if( !isset($count[ $field['parent'] ]) ) {
        $count[ $field['parent'] ] = 1;
    } else {
        $count[ $field['parent'] ]++;
    }
} else {
    if( !isset($count[ $field['parent_layout'] ]) ) {
        $count[ $field['parent_layout'] ] = 1;
    } else {
        $count[ $field['parent_layout'] ]++;
    }
}

// Only add menu order if doesn't already exist.
// Allows Flexible Content field to set custom order
if (!isset($field['parent_layout'])) {
    if( empty($field['menu_order']) && $field['menu_order'] !== 0) {
        $field['menu_order'] = ($count[ $field['parent'] ] - 1);
    }
} else {
    if( empty($field['menu_order']) && $field['menu_order'] !== 0) {
        $field['menu_order'] = ($count[ $field['parent_layout'] ] - 1);
    }
}
