I re-read you message, and think problem is default example in
"google-api-php-client".
Just downloaded it and run examples/contacts/simple.php.
I see this part of code:
$response = json_encode(simplexml_load_string($val->getResponseBody()));
print "<pre>" . print_r(json_decode($response, true), true) . "</pre>";
In this json_encode/json_decode lost needed info for you.
Instead of this please make:
print_r($val->getResponseBody())
You will see original XML from google, which include
gContact:groupMembershipInfo...
and much more information
