I was able to get help with this on the jboss as forums. My solution was to revise the markup of the rolesQuery from:

<module-option name="rolesQuery" 
    value="SELECT groupid, 'Roles' FROM grouptable WHERE username=?" />

to this:

<module-option name="rolesQuery">
   SELECT groupid, 'Roles' FROM grouptable WHERE username=?
</module-option>

I also had to change the encoding style to HEX. Here is my working login-config.xml.

<application-policy name="Avengers">
    <authentication>
       <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule" flag = "required">
          <module-option name="dsJndiName">java:/jdbc/thor_ds</module-option>
          <module-option name="principalsQuery">SELECT password FROM usertable WHERE username = ?</module-option>
          <module-option name="rolesQuery">SELECT groupid, 'Roles' FROM grouptable WHERE username=?</module-option>
          <module-option name="hashAlgorithm">MD5</module-option>
          <module-option name="hashEncoding">HEX</module-option>
          <!--<module-option name="hashEncoding">base64</module-option>-->
       </login-module>
    </authentication>
 </application-policy>
