Comment:

 'populate_extras' is working as intended. It's just that it means
 something different in the case of `BP_Groups_Group::get()` from what it
 means in the case of `BP_Groups_Group::__construct()`. For `get()`, it
 calls `get_group_extras()`, which does *not* fetch `admins` or `mods`
 info. For `BP_Groups_Group`, it calls `populate()`, which *does*.

 In the future, it would be nice to make these two act in an identical way
 (ideally by using the same underlying `'populate_extras'` method). But
 since this is not a regression, and since comprehensive unit tests will be
 required first, I'm going to put this in Future Release pending a patch.
