 They are added, just the live-user scripts don't wait for the init scripts
 to finish before they start logging in the user. And once the xfce session
 process is launched, there's no way to alter the groups it belongs to
 without a logout and back in.

 rc.local is already first in line in /etc/rc2.d/ at S10, so we can't make
 it any earlier. A question remains if the live-user setup is doing
 something funny explicitly to those groups.
