This has been waiting for feedback for almost 3 years. Please provide a testcase and re-open if it's still an issue. Foswiki 1.1. has made considerable changes to groups.
I've tried it locally, and it seems to provide the list of groups. They are not qualified by %USERSWEB%, but since this macro is often used in applications needing a simple list of groups, it would probably not be good to add the web. Probably better to use %FORMAT to add it only if the group topic exists.
