The function SETFUNCTION should take two arguments, a symbol (the option name) and the new value, and should do whatever is necessary to update the value properly for this option (which may not mean simply setting the option as a Lisp variable). The default for SETFUNCTION is `set-default'. And the doc string says this: VALUE should be a function to set the value of the symbol. It takes two arguments, the symbol to set and the value to give it. The default choice of function is `set-default'. It isn't clear from these that :set takes effect only when you change the option value using Customize. I was thinking from reading this that it took effect whenever the option value was changed in any way. Or at a minimum whenever it was changed using either Customize or `set-variable'. Please consider making explicit that this applies only to value changes made in the Customize UI.
