    Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The latest Beta build 29.4.0.2 fixes this finally.

    Now groups get the applied appearance positioned above the Contents in the Appearance panel.

    Anyway — always check the full Appearance panel when you work with the Eyedropper tool with both Appearance options checked, because with this fix it’s getting easier to accidentally apply an additional appearance to the group itself, instead of changing the style of its components.

    Happy illustrating!

    The workaround I found (prepare for a ridiculous one, but what you gonna do):
    - select the group you want to change color of,
    -Cut,
    (- get outside any group it may reside in if the case)
    -Paste in Place,
    -Ungroup,
    - change color, with Picker on otherwise,
    - Group back,
    - Cut,
    (- get inside the larger group it was in)
    - Paste in Place.
