I'm still not convinced that we should mask this misconfiguration
by skipping the test.

AFAIK it's totally valid to have several names for a gid,
but is it permitted the other way round?

I'd bet you run into other trouble on such a system, too.
Therefore, I see the failing test more as a heads-up to
fix the configuration.

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
