 Line 262 in the file MapServer/php/LoadMap.php reads:

 array_push($mapObj->groups,
 getGroupObject($oMap->getLayer($aLayerIndexes[0])));

 The layer that is passed to getGroupObject(..) may or may not be a group
 layer. In the function getGroupObject(..), group information is queried
 from this layer through calls such as
 "$layer->getMetaData('groupLegendLabel')". It seems to me that group
 information is not returned if the layer is not a group layer. As a
 result, all metainformation specified for groups in the map file is
 ignored.

 There are a number of solutions to this. One would be to just add a second
 parameter to the getGroupObject(..) function where the according group
 layer is passed. Line 262 then could look like this:

 array_push($mapObj->groups,
 getGroupObject($oMap->getLayer($aLayerIndexes[0]),
 $oMap->getLayerByName($groupName)));

 All metadata queries in getGroupObject(..) would then go to the group
 layer.
