Just tried and you're right. Damn, it's a side effect of how layer groups work in GeoServer, in fact, they do not exist services and security wise, so if the group happens to be empty in the current operation (for example, because the layers it's made of are not visible to the current user, or because of the advertised flag) the group becomes invisible as well. I honestly don't know how to fix this without also breaking in a major way the security subsystem... Layer hiding was not tested along with layer groups as the company that sponsored the advertised flag did not need hiding for that, but only to hide temporary layers. All I can suggest at the moment is that you add a dummy layer to the group that gets published, but that never draws anything (you can get that by associating to to a style that has odd scale limits or filters that are never satisified).
