OK so id(1) will always show all groups it knows about.
Then the warning message might be along the lines of:

  "warning: User '%s' is a member of more groups than the current system limit"

I also am not seeing the point of the proposed diagnostic. I daresay most users would be more annoyed than usefully warned by the diagnostic; I know I would.

The rare user concerned about being in "too many" groups can run 'getconf NGROUPS_MAX' and 'id -G | wc -w' and compare.
