Whoever
owns the file can chmod the file but if you're just a member
of the group you get the permission denied messages.
This is exactly how chmod is supposed to work according to the
Single Unix Specification:
"Only a process whose effective user ID matches the user ID of
the file, or a process with the appropriate privileges, shall be
permitted to change the file mode bits of a file."

Then what's the point of groups?
