I guess you just need to copy the Group from top to the filesystem
subpackage.

tar's not gonna do it. You need xz:

$ rpm2cpio xxxx.rpm | xz -d | cpio -id

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/xz-4.999.9-0.2.beta.20091007git.fc14.src.rpm

Check 

http://tukaani.org/xz/

for the sources of xz compressed with gz :-)

You can also patch RPM, but I do not recommend this.
