Usally means there is an object with some history/transformation within the group. Freeze trans and delete history and regroup or hit insert on move the pivot manually.

You shouldn't have to, post up a scene file and I'll have a look if you like

you might have grouped an object that you didn't intend to add to the group as well

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D
