There is much more problems with groups in bugzilla, it affects F19 too.
You can "fix" this by using "yum mark remove <group>" on all groups you 
get a warning they are missing (you have to have the latest yum - so yum 
update yum).

If you do a mark convert it takes old group info and converts it to new 
objects. So whenever you do this again, you'll end in the same "broken" 
state again.

In my opinion, this is somewhat badly broken.
