closedBP Docs Authentication Issue

Description
Ran into a strange and convoluted bug with BP Docs:
1. Started out by being logged into the Commons through my admin account.
2. Visited a private group. Went to add a comment to a BP Doc.
3. While I was in the process of writing the comment, I wanted to test a bug -- a user in the thread said that she was unable to edit forum posts.
4. So, in another tab, I logged out of my admin account and logged in as "Test Student" - a regular account.
5. I tested things in the other tab. Didn't log out of the Test Student account.
6. I went back to the BP Doc tab where I had been logged in as admin and clicked the Submit button on my BP Doc comment.
7. Upon hitting submit, I saw a message telling me that this is a hidden group and that one needs to be a member to see/post.
8. The message was actually posted to the BP Doc under the "Test Student" account even though that account is not part of the hidden group.
I don't expect that many people will run into this bug, but I thought I'd report it.
