Heh. Yes, in a bizarre way. It's loading the requestor by
Principal ID, and a principal can be a group as well as a
user. In particular:

+----+---------------+----------+
| id | PrincipalType | Type     |
+----+---------------+----------+
|  3 | Group         | Everyone |
+----+---------------+----------+

Bug? Feature? I'm not sure. :^)
