Unless something has changed (possible, haven't been playing close attention), there's no individual package selection for groups, so there are no UI effects. Historical info: This was generally intentional - the group is intended to define a specific set of packages that would be ensured to be there if that group was installed. Optional selections are for groups which only have optional packages, or optional groups that would be selected for particular environments. That can always be revisited, but the initial premise was that groups of that form that are specified as they are in comps now weren't supposed to be modifyable in that way. (Even if yum-based anaconda let you do it in kickstart.)
