Your guess is right.  After customizing this variable and using e.g.

(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
             '("buffer1" .
               (display-buffer-in-tab
                (tab-name . "C")
                (tab-group . "foo"))))

it merges the new tab with its group.

So you suggest to make this value the default?  Ok, the default value
will be changed in the release branch.
