System Information
Windows 8.1

Blender Version
2.72b

Short description of error
When using Object duplication, the duplication master object (child of Base Mesh) itself is not being rendered. Which is correct. But it's children are being rendered. I often parent objects onto the Master object and it is tricky to get rid of them in the final render.

Check this .blend file: http://www.pasteall.org/blend/33540

On the left, typical duplivert situation. Red cube being the Base Mesh (not visible in rendered view - it is offset a bit for clear view) and Green cube being the Master object. Take notice that the master Green cube in the middle is not being rendered, just as it should be.

And on the right, there's a small Blue cube which is parented to the Green Cube. The master Green cube on the right is still not being rendered, but it's child - the blue Cube is, which is unwanted behavior and in my opinion, a bug.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Add Cube
Add Icosphere
Select both and make Cube active
Press Ctrl+P -> choose Object
Select Cube and turn dupliverts on in object tab in properties window
Now check that everything is working properly -> press Shift+Z and rotate the view so you see the middle of the cluster.
You should see that the Icosphere in the middle of the base mesh - the Cube - is not being rendered.

Now onto the bug:

Add Cone
Select both Icosphere and Cone
Make Icosphere the active object in the selection
Press Ctrl+P -> choose Object

Now press Shift+Z for rendered view again and notice the Cone which is being rendered in the middle of the Cube while being the child of the master object and thus should not be visible.

I'm a beginner In Blender 2.72b
I cannot find Object panel --> Duplication --> verts
trying to practice the example DupliVerts as an Arranging Tool
in Blender Doc 2.6 manual page 326
Hope you could show me how to find Verts in 2.72b
Thanks
