As reported in the duplicate bug 486130, this has more dramatic consequences when creating a group: the GID is set to 0 by default, which leads to adding users to the root group without notice. While admins can be clever enough to change that, people may still miss this detail, which could be highly dangerous... I think it would be worth a SRU.
