The plus sign only appears when there are groups under the Shared Contacts
or the Identity's Contacts.
After clicking on the plus sign, the group names appear in the Folders and
Groups pane.
If you highlight the folder name, the contacts and groups appear in the
right pane.
If you highlight a group name in the Folders and Groups pane, the members of
the group appear in the right pane.

In the Address Book, groups are listed alphabetically with the other
addresses.
In the Contacts pane, groups are listed at the bottom of the Contacts.

You can create "standalone" WAB files that all identities use and for how to
do that, see this link:
http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm#wabexe

Try creating a standalone wab and see if you can create groups.

I will try play with deleting the current wab and creating a new one.
