I don't know why 'group' should be "tag-less" (whatever that incurs)
and thus would simply use

(define-widget 'group 'default
  "A widget which groups other widgets inside."
  :convert-widget 'widget-types-convert-widget
  :copy 'widget-types-copy
  :tag "Group"
  :format "%{%t%}:\n%v"
  ...

But maybe there is a reason for the current specification.
