Here's one way, although it may be a pain for you:

Group the objects within the group, so you wind up with a group within a
group.  Call the inner group "container".  Then script:

 import snapshot from rect (rect of grp "container") of grp "container"

If necessary, you might group when taking a snapshot only, and then ungroup
when completed.  Either way, referencing the container group should work.
