If the group roles allow login, then as far as pgAdmin is concerned
they're actually login roles and will hide them by default. Other than
that, there's no obvious reason that you won't be able to see the
groups that I can think of.

We don't 'never allow login roles in there', we hide them by default
to encourage good practice (as you recognise :-) ). To show the users,
select the 'Show users for Privileges' option in the options dialog.
