You didn't clarify if that happens during a CHILD_SA initiation with
IKE_AUTH or with CREATE_CHILD_SA.  During IKE_AUTH, the DH group is
always omitted, so it really shouldn't matter who is initiator (and
removing the DH group from the proposal doesn't make a difference).
However, during CREATE_CHILD_SA DH is optional.  But enforcing a DH
group as responder and not proposing one as initiator of the same
CHILD_SA doesn't really make sense.  So if that's the case, it sounds
like a bug.

Regards,
Tobias
