If the group gets added to the XObject Form as opposed to the Page object, I think that should work fine. Then there is always one-to-one correlation between the imported page and the XObject Form containing it. I doubt that transparency between overlapping XObject Forms will ever be an issue.

If there's an RGB page group and an CMYK page group and both pages are included in a single page, what should be the resulting page group?

The BeforeImport.pdf shows an image in a light blue color, and the AfterImport.pdf is the same file after being imported using PdfWriter. The color shift should be clearly noticeable in Acrobat.
