Possibly related:

Now that that Group is created, I get an error message when trying to create a forum post to it.

Existing Groups are fine, so too creating new forum topics to them.

would very much like to see that, or be able to assign a permissions level for who can actually create a group.

eg., default permission on registering with site is subscriber. if person gets bumped up a level or two he/she is now able to create groups.
