"but it looks like this doesn't automatically load anything i have in group_vars for those new groups"
When you say "new groups", do you mean the group is not defined in inventory or is defined and does not have hosts? In either case, I would like this would work, yes. This seems like (if reproducible on devel) there should be a ticket opened. I don't think it would break precedence and could be done in a reasonably sane way, but I haven't really dug in yet.
