This was a problem for me in Kmail 4.8.0 but appears fixed in kmail 
4.8.3. Not sure what was fixed but I know its Ok in my version (openSUSE 
12.1) if you send it as a BCC:  groupxxx. I have not tried sending a 
group as a To: item. This also happened on openSUISE 11.4 but was also 
fixed there. I will log into 12.2 tommorrow and test it in KDE 4.8.4. 
Will post result.

Sorry I cannot help more.
