It was never intended for that case to be a bug.
But shouldn't every defcustom be part of some meaningful group?
It seems to me that they all should.
And I don't really see it is as a case where "legitimate" is proper
word to use. Nothing breaks if the option is in no group. And nobody
benefits from having the option in a poorly chosen group, it may even
be noise to users of that group.
Every option ought to be in a well-chosen group. I agree that a defcustom
which fails to specify a group, even by default, should "work". But I
think it should get a warning, so that the maintainer of the file will
define a group for it.
