Final update on the problem: It was the Yongnuo triggers at fault. My Godox triggers and transmitter arrived today and they work perfectly with the 580EX II as expected in ETTL (and the 430EX II works perfectly too). For some reason there is something about the YN triggers that was at fault... what, exactly, I will never know. But Godox solved the problem 🙂 Very happy!

What kind of batteries are you using?

It seems obvious to me that the 622C-TX is at fault. I'd try loading the latest firmware for it and try again.

The 580 still has the same problem when there is a 622 on the hotshoe and a 622 under the flash so I don't think it's the 622C-TX. I will update the firmware though anyway.
Still true since I suspect the 622 under the flash is not communicating correctly to the 580. Hopefully a firmware change will solve this problem.

Ok, I tried updating the firmware. Results: not good 😞
All four 622s (including the single one that worked with the 580) were already at the latest firmware I could find, which is V1.05 (http://www.hkyongnuo.com/e-detaily.php?ID=364). I tried updating anyway in case somehow all of them have faulty firmware. No change from updating 622s to V1.05 (note they all already were V1.05).
I then went for a 622-TX update. Weirdly, the "latest" firmware on the YN site is V1.11 but on my TX, it was showing as V1.13. With great trepidation I downgraded it to 1.11 from the YN site (http://www.hkyongnuo.com/e-detaily.php?ID=348)... aaaaaaaand now the WORKING 622 is NOT working under the 580 :'( Bit devestated since I've got no way to go back to V1.13 for which the working 622 was getting info from the TX. Sadfaaaaaaaaace
The working 622 is still being correctly triggered in ETTL by the other 622s when I use another 622 on the camera hotshoe instead of the TX.
So I have some kind of 580 problem and also a TX problem? I am so confused.

I'd try asking about the phantom V1.13 firmware on a Yongnuo forum or in the Q&A list for the tranceiver on the B&H Web site. At least they might be able to get you back to where you were.
