Uh, to test whether a given symbol corresponds to "a loaded
customize group (i.e. defined by a defgroup that has been
evaluated)."
Clearly (see the rest of the bug report), it is not clear
how Lisp code can test for this. Property `custom-group'
is not the answer. Nor, apparently, is a combination of
properties `custom-group' and `custom-autoload'. How to
test for this condition?
