The StaffGroup context does not have the Instrument_name_engraver enabled by 
default (I'm wondering why, since it does not have any effect unless you set 
the instrumentName, in which case you definitely want the name to appear...), 
so you have to add it manually. See
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=115
and simply replace GrandStaff with StaffGroup.

Cheers,
Reinhold
