Marking confirmed. It is actually pretty trivial to reproduce, no need
for a network directory (such as LDAP) for that.
Step to reproduce:
1. Create a dummy group to test:
$ sudo addgroup test
2. configure pam_group:
$ echo "*; *; *; Al0000-2400" | sudo tee -a /etc/security/group.con
$ echo "auth optional pam_group.so" | sudo tee -a /etc/pam.d/common-auth
3. Log in through LightDM, and run the "id" command from a terminal. Notice
you are not member of group "test".
4. Switch to VT using Ctrl-Alt-F1 and log in (or, alternatively, log in
throughssh). Run the "id" command, and notice you *are* member of group "test".
Tested on precise, amd64, lightdm 1.1.1-0ubuntu4.
