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!
An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment @Eimantas This does not appear to be my issue. The appearance panel is not showing multiple fills so I don't think the fill is being hidden by a stack of fills. I've been using Illustrator for years and this appears to be new behavior to me. Perhaps a setting somehow got changed but I have not been able to locate a setting to restore previous functionality.

An error occurred while saving the comment I am just now experiencing this bug and I'm disappointed to see it has been happening to people for 5+ years. This is extremely frustrating. I hate to have to switch to a new tool but it's looking like I'm going to have to. What's the next core feature that will break and not have a fix for 5+ years?
I have tried toggling the various eye dropper settings and nothing worked. I also found the checkbox menu for editing settings buggy itself (if I hover over a setting it collapses the dropdown).
@Eimantas That worked! Thank you. I do find this functionality strange, though. I would like the actual objects within a group to change color when using the eye dropper tool.
