The UI might be counterintuitive, but I think this is more of a feature request than a bug.

You might think it adds the group itself, but it actually adds the group's users (those currently in the group). In fact, the button says "Add group users," not "Add user group."

In other words, if you add more users to the group later, they won't be added to the survey. So, it doesn't make sense for empty groups to appear there.
