Jason,
That is by design, don't know why though. Check the below section on Easy
VPN server Doc also with the radius attributes needed for group
authorization parameters.

   *To define group policy attributes for RADIUS, you must do the following
   task on your RADIUS server:*
   - Define a user that has a name equal to the group name as defined in
      the client graphical user interface (GUI). *For example, if users
      will be connecting to the Cisco IOS VPN device using the group name
      "sales," you will need a user whose name is "sales." The
password for this
      user is "cisco," which is a special identifier that is used by the router
      for RADIUS purposes.* The username must then be made a member of a
      group in which the correct policy is defined. For simplicity, it is
      recommended that the group name be the same as the username.
