Resolution
The error "Application X is not a member of AppGroup: <Some group name>" really means "The application who just requested a key is not a member of the application group <Some group name>, as the keyclass requested is part of that group".

The certificate provided by the application requesting a key from a keyclass does not have access to the keyclass.  Look at the certificate of the application, make sure that application is in the Application Group <Some group name>, as the key class requested is linked to that same group.
