The ---- might not be at the beginning of a line.

Yes, I know, it's at the beginning of the first line of 
$SiteGroup.AllGroupFooter, but the page it's being appended to
might not have a newline at the end.

This is the purpose of the (:nl:) markup -- it says to insert
a newline if there's not already one there.  (We don't always
want to insert a newline, because if one already exists then the
extra-newline will end up becoming a vertical space in the
output.)

So, you probably really want to have:

$GroupFooterFmt = '(:nl:)(:include $SiteGroup.AllGroupFooter:)(:nl:)'.
                  '(:include $Group.GroupFooter:)(:nl:)';
