No, I don't think this should cause an issue.  We already treat groups as 
unsigned, casting as necessary.  We do normally treat vice ID's as signed, 
so things may be a bit confusing in contexts where these are conflated with 
UNIX UID's, such as with file ownership.  However, there should not be any 
actual problems here.
