So all this experiment is saying is that wavefunction collapse is observer-dependent and not a global property. It's hard to comprehend that the superposition state exists after the other group makes their measurement and says they've done so. When the wavefunction collapses for the second group, it still has to agree with the first right? So how could the superposition state continued to have existed when only one outcome was possible?

Because the second group is still in superposition relative to the first. It's kind of exactly like the schrödinger's cat, where the cat is in the same position as the second group.
