If you kill both groups, restart emacs, and subscribe to the group again, can you reproduce this? I suspect the server name for one of the identical groups is slightly off, so equality comparison fails. `G E' on the groups will tell. (The reason killing both groups and subscribing to it again, without restarting emacs, might not be enough is that groups linger around in some structures when they are killed.)
