Users Not Part of a Group Cannot Display List of Public Forums [#1059090]

I had previously installed and configured 6.x-2.2 with a number of public and member-only forums. I installed 6.x-2.x on top of the existing code. So far, everything seems to work in terms of controlling what a user can see based on their group membership. However, visitors or authenticated users who are not part of a group cannot display a list of public forums: they get "No forums defined". I have verified that they can view any public forum using the direct link.

I tried clearing the cache and running update.php - no change.

The reason for installing 6.x-2.x-dev was to apply the CSRF patch in http://drupal.org/node/1055424.

I re-installed 6.x-2.2 and the problem disappeared.

The problem was easily recreated by going to /forum. The administrator could see the entire forum structure, members of a group could see the forum structure of their group as well as any public forums, but visitors or authenticated users not part of a group would see ""No forums defined".
