Hi,
I can also confirm this behavior. I discovered this issue when creating a hub site. The News Web Part on the Hub site home page was not delivering results from all associated sites as expected. Please see my discussion on this issue: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Strange-behavior-in-Hub-site-permissions/m-p/214457.
After re-adding the user to the site, the search result is appearing as expected.
And I agree with Dean. If the user has been granted Owner role on the site, search results should be delivered accordingly.
If the users added to the new Group site through other tools than within SharePoint itself results in this behavior, then for me this sounds like a bug, and not by design.

I came across this issue in the past week too, and logged a support ticket only to be told it was by design. I don't see the logic why it would be designed like this, and the support team were unable to offer any additional info regarding this, except to get it into uservoice.
So now it looks like we will have to add any new owners into both the Office 365 Group, as well as the Site Owners group in SharePoint!
Do you know if a User Voice request has already been raised for it?

I haven't seen any User Voice request on this yet. There are a lot of requests. It it exists, it might be in the list in here:
