The system may not be aware of something like boarding groups, especially since every airline does them differently. It's entirely possible that the "check" is "is this boarding pass checksum valid.", especially given the stories of boarding wrong flights - it doesn't even flash red for "this is not the right pass for this flight". |

Anecdotally, last time I was flying on a business to Germany with Lufthansa, my cow-orker did the Internet check-in for me without me knowing, and printed out the boarding passes. I later did the check-in for myself again, and picked a different seat. At the airport, the friend gave me the boarding pass he printed (with the old seat number), and so I thought, let's check if it still works on the scanners. I scanned it when boarding, and the scanner threw up an error that the seat on the pass does not agree with the one that's actually booked. I pulled the up-to-date boardin pass on my phone and continued on my way - but it seems that there is some actual checking being done, not just CRC.
