What's even more strange is that I checked all the groups, including the
admin group, yesterday and my name wasn't checked in any of them. Today
it is checked in all of them except my main group, just as you
described. The only thing I can think of that changed was that I
installed an application that creates a group and adds the current user
to that group. After logging out and logging back in, you become a
member of that group, but your name is not checked in any of the groups.
After a full reboot, your name gets checked.

That is just a guess, but that's what started this bug report. I
installed VirtualBox, forgot to logout/login, went to check if I was a
member of the vboxusers group, which I wasn't. I went to the Terminal
and did "groups ross" (ross being my username) and it listed vboxusers,
even though the GUI did not. Logging out and back in showed the same
result, but this time I was able to start a virtual machine. After
rebooting this morning, it is listed in the vboxusers group.
