Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the getGroups() and getJoinedGroups() entry points using a joined public group. Trace how each request handles public groups and compare their responses. Done means getGroups() returns the joined public group instead of an empty array, with coverage for this behavior if the existing test structure provides a suitable place.
