The copy operator '<' just copies the definition of the right side 
argument. There is a difference between:

   lib.group_id = 7
   plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.groupSelection < lib.group_id

which is equivalent to:
   plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.groupSelection = 7

And:

   lib.group_id = TEXT
   lib.group_id.data = GP:group_id
   lib.group_id.htmlSpecialChars = 1
   plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.groupSelection < lib.group_id

which is equivalent to:
   plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.groupSelection = TEXT
   plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.groupSelection.data = GP:group_id
   plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.groupSelection.htmlSpecialChars = 1

Typoscript does not evaluate lib.group_id first into a single value and 
then copies the result to plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.
You can see this in the Object Browser.

You can also change the copied defintion later on:
   plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.groupSelection < lib.group_id
   plugin.tx_ttaddress_pi1.groupSelection.htmlSpecialChars = 0
will turn off htmlspecialchars.
