Michael,

The reason is that prefix 'commun' is handled specially by Porter2 (see
the 'mark_regions' routine) so that in effect it is treated as one
syllable, rather than two syllables. So 'communing' behaves like
'tuning' etc. Similarly Porter2 stems 'communism' to 'communism' while
Porter stems 'communism' to 'commun'.
