If you follow the C++ source code, you'll see why. QToolBar::addWidget()
uses QWidgetAction to embed the widget and calls
QWidgetAction::setDefaultWidget(). That in turn calls setParent(0), so
wether or not you pass in a parent when creating the groupbox doesn't
matter. You could try to do something like

self.grpbox = QtGui.QGroupBox() 

instead, which also keeps a reference to the groupbox.

I didn't look at the sources, but have you tried to directly put the
lineedit as widget, instead of a groupbox with layout and such things?
QWidgetAction and hence QToolBar::addWidget might not be made for
complex or compound widgets.
