Comment (by fwclarke):

 I note that the same problem arises with class groups, which are also
 built using `AbelianGroupWithValues`.  However in the following case, it
 ''is'' possible to obtain a subgroup of a group with values:
 {{{
 sage: U = Zmod(30).unit_group()
 sage: type(U)
 <class
 'sage.groups.abelian_gps.values.AbelianGroupWithValues_class_with_category'>
 sage: U.subgroup([U.random_element()])
 Multiplicative Abelian subgroup isomorphic to C2 generated by {f0*f1^2}
 }}}
 I have tried, but failed, to see why the other cases lead to `gap` errors.
