Not a bug in regards to ranger single target 50+ spells, evidence here:

Post 50 Hybrid Spell Bug?
It's not a bug, but rather it is based upon the level that you get the spell in question. Since hybrids get the spells post-50, they are treated like level 50+ spells of other classes.

That said, I will talk to the tuning team to see if we can get it based on the lowest level that anyone gets the spell.
I don't believe they ever fixed it in era, as there are out of era comments regarding chloroplast ZAM page that it wouldn't work even after planes of power:

I'm not sure if there's a limit for other classes, but as a Ranger I can only cast this on people 42 and up.

This seems strange since shamans get this spell at 39.
I didn't find any info for Call of the Predator not being able to cast on lower levels via the 'group buff' exception, so maybe that is a bug. Are you targetting yourself? I seem to recall there was something to the effect of you had to have a high level targeted to do the group buff exception.
