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.
