It appears both usermod and useradd use the local /etc/group rather
then what is supplied via the -R parameter.

Am I doing something wrong or is this indeed a bug in the coreutils?

It might be a bug, but not in coreutils - these programs are not part of 
coreutils.

I'm using debian jessie's 8.23-4 on amd64

It seems that in Debian, these programs are part of the 'passwd' package,
whose source is maintained here (as upstream of the 'shadow' package):
  http://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/features.php
You could try asking here:
