Well, I had a feeling I'd find a solution as soon as I posted my message. :-)
Maybe there's a better way, but I finally realized I just need to temporarily store the starting location of each control in the group. Then I resize the group as needed, then follow that with resizing/repositioning the controls inside the group, using the saved starting location as a reference. Works like a charm.
