I checked the group velocity upstream in Geant4 and everything seems to be correct.

Method:
Create photons of different wavelength in a fused silica radiator (manually, not via the Cherenkov process). Export velocity of G4OpticalPhotons and a computed group velocity (using an approximation of n_g = n_p - lambda* dn/dlambda)

Result:
Attached

If a bug exists, it is most likely related to wrong material property maps.
