Thank you for reporting that.
The problem is that diagnostics are being printed in an unexpected
language in spite of the code in tests/lang-default that is supposed
to force all diagnostics to be printed in English.

Please edit your copy of tests/chgrp/basic and add these lines

  LC_ALL=C
  export LC_ALL

after this one:

  . $srcdir/../group-names

Then rerun that test:

  make -C tests/chgrp TESTS=basic

If it still fails the same way (with French vs. English differences),
please run the following script and report what it prints:

#!/bin/sh
for i in \
    LANG LANGUAGE LC_ALL LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME; do
  eval "$i=; export $i"
done
env
locale
