Short answer, site groups have Group owners who manage them - don't think someone with Full Control who is not a Group owner can manage a group (unless they're site collection admin).
That's how Full Control works Paul, you can even stop inheriting permissions in a list in a site and remove users who have the Full Control role of the site, they can be reduced to readers of a list and there's nothing they can do about it. What's most likely happening is the person with Full Control is not specified as the Group owner. Try and manage the group settings, view a Group and select Settings --> Group Settings (Manage settings such as group name and permissions) and where it specifies the Group owner, you can enter an AD User or a SharePoint Site Group and if the person's account is a member of the group owner site group they should be able to manage membership of the group.
