Additional info
Browser Debugging: when clicking on "restore share" as User B
As a workaround User A has to share D again with explicit User B and same permissions as Group G.
Also deleting the Group Share and creating it new works, but has implications like shortly lost access and possible resend mails to affected users of Group B

Research direction
Start at lib/private/Share20/Manager.php line 1323 and trace the restore request from the /ocs/v2.php/apps/files_sharing/api/v1/deletedshares/150 endpoint. Reproduce the group-share scenario, inspect why restoring User B's deleted share produces the undefined array key warning, and verify that the share can be restored without the error.
