I've manually applied https://review.openstack.org/136079 on
review.openstack.org and approved several changes which created new
projects and with them new Gerrit groups, so I think it works.
Unfortunately I was unable to artificially recreate the conditions
under which the script was previously failing and so haven't been
able to prove its efficacy beyond anecdotal testing in production.

As much as I don't like that I can't say for certain this change
addresses the issue (since I can't pin down the exact trigger), I
think it's probably worth moving forward with unless anyone else
wants to take up the reins.
