Looking at the documentation... apparently light_group only affects the
actual illumination instead of both the light and shadow. However, I haven't
worked with this in such a long time so I could be wrong.

You can apply a shadowless keyword to the lights or no_shadow to the objects
to work around this. Problem then might be how your scene is affected versus
what's intended by you. Might be possible to set up a second pair of lights
to cast shadows onto a floor plane, for example.
