When trying to retrieve an ofParameterGroup from an ofAbstractParameter reference (both const and non-const), through .castGroup(), the compiler is unable to link the executable due to this method not being implemented.
This situation is present at least from v0.9.2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the linker failure when calling ofAbstractParameter::castGroup() on const and non-const references, then locate the declarations and corresponding definitions for ofAbstractParameter and ofParameterGroup. Done means both calls link successfully and return an ofParameterGroup as described.
