Thank you. I am not sure this isn't a bug at this time. I tried this after you pointed it out. When I do this, and change the owner from Anonymous to User A, User A cannot edit it in the way Anonymous could. And Anonymous can still edit it. Is this expected behavior?
The goal is to make it where Anonymous sees no edit button tabs at all, and the new owner sees the edit tabs that Anonymous used to see.

Anonymous isn't supposed to be a group owner at all, actually :) I found a gap in behavior where this is allowed, but can only fix this in v4 because it would be a backwards compatibility break.
Regarding permissions, because you changed the owner from anonymous to an authenticated user, Group now checks for different group roles. Please look watch these videos to get a better understanding of how permissions work in Group 2/3: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWsDPX910IWxhowXYlXDrSG_A5H7_shv5

So should this stay open if it's not fixed yet, or is there already an open issue for that?

Well, look at the videos and see if you can fix it by properly assigning permissions. I'm fairly sure you can. As to the anonymous can own a group debacle, it's already on my radar for v4. Keeping this as fixed, as I am fairly certain you will be able to fix this if you set up the permissions correctly.
