Unlike the root user, I don't think there's anything special about the group ID of group `root'. IOW, the kernel places no special significance on GID 0. So the chown can't change from root:root to root:0 because group root isn't necessarily GID 0. That leaves ensuring a group called root exists. I think the issue of why some installations have a group called root and others don't is worthy of a separate, non- xorg, bug.
