The problem was reported to the Level 3 support center last
fall and was (presumably) fixed.  I don't recall which level
as I am no longer part of the group.  But I do remember that
someone in the group DID fix exactly what you describe.

There is nothing wrong with making LSPS setgid or setuid to
the appropriate group.  I recall that the code does "the
right thing" for various values of "the right thing".
