But, it does work -- with the one exception involving node creation that 
is the crux of this message.  I currently work around this problem by 
using node_add directly instead of node/add/<node type>?gids[]=<group nid>.

No.  I'm trying to require that a user have a specific role in a group 
that is specific to that group.  In another group, he might have the 
same role, or he might not.

Restricted to a group, yes, but for whatever node types are available to 
1) the group and 1b) the role the user has in the group.

It's possible.  That's what I'm trying to find out.  I do know that in 
order to achieve the functionality I was looking for, I only needed to 
modify user_access.  This worked for group node listing, viewing, 
updating and deleting.  Just not creating.

This was a re-post of an original message I posted to the list. The 
question was specific to this list. In the future, however, I will take 
your advice.  Thanks.
