For completeness, attached is the test fail log.

Also, similar examples with other groups:

===
$ getent group | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq -d
adm
bin
daemon
lp
mail
root
sys
tty
users
uucp
$ getent group | grep ^mail:
mail:x:8:
mail:x:6:root
$ getent group mail
mail:x:8:
$ getent group | grep ^adm:
adm:x:4:
adm:x:4:root,adm,daemon
$ getent group adm
adm:x:4:
===

So yes, this is not an ideally-configured system.
