Piyush and I figured it out this afternoon. You're going to love this!

We had released a 3rd-party libfreenect package to Groovy. As suggested by the bloom tutorial, we added a package.xml, with this install command:

install(FILES package.xml DESTINATION share/${PROJECT})

Apparently, ${PROJECT} was not defined in that CMake file, so the file got installed directly in /opt/ros/groovy/share, instead of the desired /opt/ros/groovy/share/libfreenect. That had the unexpected effect of hiding all the wet Groovy packages, since package.xml is never resolved in a package subdirectory.

Fortunately, this only affected the two of us, because we had installed ros-groovy-libfreenect from the ros-shadow-fixed repository. We will release a fix shortly.
