I can confirm this, the issue is only with the "email" right-click feature though. If you start composing a new message and attach the file, it's properly scoped to recipients only (both in OWA and Outlook). I guess they simply forgot to scope the right-click shortcut.
FWIW, you can still adjust the permissions after you've attached the file via the "email" right-click menu.

I hope that is the case, will monitor this. Can you confirm that you are also doing the following:
From within Outlook online after selecting a group, and then on the "Files" tab, you select a file, the click on "Email", as shown in image.

I agree it would be worth to be able the permissions while sharing, but I don't recall to have seen this option...so I think is more a lack of functionality than an issue / bug
