I am confused by this remark. Why would it tell that?

It never would, but as a naive user you could think that IsPrimitive for a matrix group actually tells you whether this group is a primitive matrix group. But this is not the case.

OK, I did not make this connection, so this paragraph, which is meant as a clarification, to me was instead confusing :/. Perhaps it could be changed to something more like this: "This operation is not concerned with the notion of "primitive vector space", i.e., it does not..."

yes it solves the remaining problems, but it still would be nice to get the information that you tried to use Blocks for an intransitive group. |
The blocks problem is now its own issue: #3364. |

I added some information in the documentation of IsPrimitive.
