jEdit clobbering file's group

On my Linux box, I changed the group and permissions of a file so certain other users can also edit it. My 'main group' is "david", so by default any files I create have this as the group. The common group between me and the other users who need to edit this file is called "users". I used chgrp to change the group of the file to "users". "ls -l" confirms the group is now "users". When I open the file in jEdit, update and save, the group gets changed back to "david". When I change the group to "users" again try editing the file with a native editor (e.g. gedit) the group is not clobbered on save.
I'm using version 4.3pre10, installed using the Java installer.
Anyone know how to work around this? Should I report it as a bug?
