The perfect groups library returns by default groups as finitely presented groups and I t the code on which `MaximalSubgroups’ relies has no special hook for such groups (which would be to first translate to permutation groups).

The fix is easy: Construct the perfect groups as permutation groups by calling
G:=PerfectGroup(IsPermGroup,n,k);;
