I "fixed" this by having i.group run modally. The georectifier script should
not continue until you close i.group

This won't work, as you noted.

i.group is running as a modal command under x11 on my Mac. Obviously it is
not running modally on your Debian system. Maybe Glynn or someone can offer
a clue.

I am running it in TclTk as ...

Set cmd "i.group"
Catch {exec -- $cmd}

[I use catch because closing the i.group dialog generates a non-meaningful,
non-fatal, but annoying TclTk error message]
