Yup.

Objects being in separate light groups still cast shadows for all lights.
The only thing light groups change is which objects are illuminated by which
lights. An object in light_group A will cast a shadow from a light in
light_group B.

An alternate solution to your problem is to create another light identical
to Inner_Light and to set it to project_through Shadowing_Object. This
should exactly counter the shadow of Shadowing_Object, though it may be slow
to render, especially if Inner_Light is an area light.
