Error trying to compute group of units #6386

Description

@mecejide

I tried this and was hoping for a result, not an error.

gap> R:=GroupRing(GF(2),SymmetricGroup(3));
<algebra-with-one over GF(2), with 2 generators>
gap> A:=MatrixAlgebra(R,2);
( <algebra-with-one over GF(2), with 2 generators>^[ 2, 2 ] )
gap> IsRing(A);
true
gap> G:=Units(A);

P.S. Fixing this would allow the domain of GeneralLinearGroup to be extended.
