Assigning read permission to the SP group for the list on which the workflow was running solved that issue. But "NT Authority/Authenticated Users" had already been assigned Contribute rights for the list. It is weird that this does not help that issue. I agree with Ahmed.

Sending emails to individuals, whether hard-coded or passed by value works fine. The Sharepoint groups however, need to be specifically added READ permission to the item/list to "allow" SPD to properly send the email. For example, in my workflow I validate a number of things before I actually start the workflow. If these things don't validate properly, I want to email a "WF Support" Sharepoint group. Since that group has nothing to do per se with the workflow, I must add a Grant READ permissions task just before sending the email. Hope this helps. Finally found the correct solution.
