Slightly off-topic here... is there a drawback to the solution above?
What I mean is that it (partly as a side-effect) assigns $pagename which 
might not be desired, or?

Perhaps it's a simple as that we really want two code snippets here:

	## Get a proper pagename
	$pagename = ResolvePageName($pagename);



	## Get the name of this group (like {Group})
	## Note that this assumes you have resolved $pagename properly
	$group = PageVar($pagename, '$Group');

Or maybe the snippet should instead be:

	## Get the name of this group (like {Group})
	$group = PageVar(ResolvePageName($pagename), '$Group');
