My recollection is that special groups don't work that way.
Membership in a special group is a property of a *session*, not an
eperson.  You won't see such memberships in the database because they
are not permanent.

That sounds like a design flaw in the user interface.  Special groups
should be shown as distinct from other groups.

That sounds like an error in the code, yes.
