OK...I'm sure I /did/ try it that way, but got an error of some kind
(related to fun_call, not the -eq test). But I'll try it again. Maybe I
fat-fingered something the first time.

BTW, "foo" is really %ADMINSGUID (that is, "544") so numerical
comparison is correct. If $var contains something other than a
(positive) number, that's an error anyway. If $var starts with a shell
meta-character, that's an error too.  And anyway, $var is not actually a
$var, but the output of a command pipeline.

So, $(compute gid of file) -eq $ADMINSGUID is actually correct.
