Excellent work! One more modification and I get below 10us/pass:

def getgroups(seq):
     groups = []
     push = groups.append
     iseq = iter(xrange(len(seq)))
     for start in iseq:
         if seq[start] & 0x80:
             for stop in iseq:
                 if seq[stop] & 0x80:
                     push(seq[start:stop])
                     start = stop
             push(seq[start:])
     return groups
