It is... Kind of a repro, but not exactly. Keyboard shortcut F12 is equivalent to menu Data > Group and Outline > Group. And, indeed, within the Format > Group submenu, the entries are all grayed out. So maybe this is about documentation, or better labeling the current Format > Group menu?
Format - Group menu is from shapes grouping. And I think it's in our documentation (that nobody read) I agree with ady - we need some changes here. Fromat - Shapes Group may be?
You are of course right, the function I searched for was Data > Group and Outline > Group. When searching online for the functionality, I found an instruction for the other menu. I was not searching for a long time, so we can maybe blame it on me.

Code pointer: .uno:GroupMenu in [1] and in [2] (both labels are "Group") AFAICS all apps (sw*, sc, sd*) collect the commands .uno:FormatGroup, .uno:FormatUngroup, .uno:EnterGroup, and .uno:LeaveGroup under this submenu. Calc has a context menu for drawing objects with this submenu.
