It's really an underlying issue in the base OS; you can work around it 
for a particular application by overriding the setgroups libc call to 
make it sort the groups before setting them (I actually did that for 
samba under S10), but the root cause fix needs to be in the OS to 
account for cases such as over NFS where you don't really have a way to 
get in between the OS and the group list.
