 bp_group_avatar does not return the group avatar when fed a group ID.

 If it was not meant to, then there is no way to return a group avatar via
 a group ID.

 The following works, to some degree, as a workaround:

 $bp->groups->current_group = new BP_Groups_Group( $group_id );
 bp_group_avatar()

 bp_group_avatar() returns the group thumb even if 'type' is set to 'full'

 This is basically a request for the exposing of all group related fields
 (name, desc, avatar, etc) for a given ID.

 Otherwise it forces the use of a loop or object instantiation just to
 return some data
