Picard doesn't create files with a user's non-primary groupid

Scenario:

I have a folder in /home/john/music  that contains files that are readable by users in users group.
I have set permissions this way (setgid):

drwxr-sr-x 284 john users  12K sep  4 00:03 music

This way, new files inside that folder belong to "users" group, and not to john's default group (john).

I use Musicbrainz's Picard to organize my music collection. When adding new files to the collection, they get created with "john" group, and not "users" group, as they should. Why?

Can I change something in Picard to change this behaviour? There are workarounds for this, I know. But I wanted to know if this behaviour is normal.

Output of ls -lh /usr/bin/picard:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83 abr 22 17:19 /usr/bin/picard
