I know it's your opinion, and I disagree.  Even without an
explicit :group, the defcustom will have a proper group attributed to it
because it will use the last group defined in the file.  So, in my
opinion it fixes the warning so that it only occurs in cases where the
lack of the :group really leads to the variable being associated to no
group at all.
