Well, reading the code of `tramp-get-remote-gid', it looks that Tramp has
stronger checks now. That might be the reason, that you see the error.

Well, it looks like there is a problem on your remote host. Why couldn't
"id" determine the name of your gid 20002?

Because of weaker checks. I'm not fully decided, whether we shall return
a dummy group name like "nobody", if the name cannot be determined
remotely. This could result in further problems, I fear.
Anyway, there might be a workaround. The group name is cached in Tramp,
and you could predefine its value like this:
(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
(list (regexp-quote "/ssh:remotehost:")
"gid-string" "myfakedvalue"))
See also the Tramp manual about "Predefined connection information".
