Comment (by timeuser):

 There are other reasons users @mention a someone than to let them know.
 Users @mention somone just to discuss them with other private group
 members, so there is a link to the @mentioned user. Our users definitely
 expect a private group to be just that, private and to not leak content
 and notify non group members no matter what they type in a post. This is
 how other social networking sites & apps generally treat non-public groups
 and messaging. Also, how would you actually go about forbidding mentions
 in any practical way? People can type whatever they want in a post and
 @mentions are found by pattern matching & queries after the fact.
