Thanks so much for that info, Jan.
Correcting the typo above (port 8008 instead of 8080) the url
<http://<your domain here>:8008/principals/groups/<your group here>>
works as described to allow group members to edit group calendars.
I'm thrilled!
But this seems quite undocumented...
1) Searching iCal Service Administration for the phrase "/principals/groups"
turns up nothing.
2) Page 18 states "Group calendars can only be enabled by using the group
Wiki and Blog setting and then enabling the web calendar feature". And...
3) Page 72 of Web Services Administration states "You can subscribe to a web
calendar in iCal and configure your iCal calendar to retrieve updates from
the web calendar. In iCal, the web calendar is read-only, so you can't edit
it."
So the docs never actually state that you can edit a group calendar without
using the web interface, but they certainly don't suggest any other method.
Perhaps its because...

So it seems you can't mix web edits with iCal edits when using group
calendars. For us, iCal's the better choice. Glad to know we can do it.
