And I've checked this also works for 1.4.1a (0bc1ed5ea0c3) and API version 2.

Permissions may be the problem for you. Do:
$ paster rights
and check you visitor's role on the group you're searching for. Then
check that role has the 'read' permission:
$ paster roles

Do ask some more if this doesn't shed any light on the issue, although
probably better on the ckan-dev list. All the best,

David
