The difference, generally, between a "user" (or login) role, and a group
is the "login" privilege (I'm assuming you are running an 8.x version of
postgresql).  Perhaps it was inadvertently applied.  You might try to
just revoke the login privilege and see if that changes things.  You can
look at see if the  privilege is there by examining the pg_roles table
(select rolname, rolcanlogin from pg_roles;) .  Otherwise, it might just
be a pgadmin quirk...

Hope that helps
