Comment (by r-a-y):

 > Group Description, in the theme compat templates, is marked as a
 required field, and this change (obv) allows empty values.

 Good catch.  Would really be swell if we could switch to `WP_Error` for
 these types of things.

 The alternative is changing the group edit template to remove the
 'required' string, but that's probably a no-go.

 So do we want to fix up the admin notice to be more specific?  If so,
 `03.patch` does this in a workaround manner in the admin area since we
 can't use `WP_Error` in `groups_edit_base_group_details()`.
