The documentation of "man adduser" still clearly says what Fab pasted: "--group When combined with --system, a group with the same name and ID as the system user is created." For me it seems like a real problem if the program doesn't follow it's own documentation. So this is a bug.
The attached patch fixes documentation inconsistency.
