Luke, look into the source:

t3lib/class.t3lib_userauthgroup.php line 867:
		// If this function is processing the users OWN group-list (not subgroups) AND if the ->firstMainGroup
		// is not set, then the ->firstMainGroup will be set.
             if (!strcmp($idList,'') && !$this->firstMainGroup) {
                $this->firstMainGroup=$uid;
             }

so you see when idList is emtpy and firstMainGroup is not set (this is true when the
first entry is processed) then firstMainGroup gets set.

And as this is as it is (wow) you can't don anything about it except reorder
the list.

greets,
Bernhard
