Comment (by r-a-y):

 >  I can also imagine devs thinking that the group creation process should
 be included in bp_is_group().

 If you look at the PHPDoc for `bp_is_group()`, `bp_is_group()` is meant to
 return true only when on a single group page.

 I had some code that was doing checks for `bp_is_group()` and then doing
 some group nav changes, but since the group nav is only available when on
 a single group page, a fatal error occurred after group creation because
 the group nav wasn't available at that time. I guess I could have checked
 if the group nav was available and then I wouldn't have run into the fatal
 error, but the `bp_is_group()` behavior was odd enough that I wanted to
 create a ticket about it.

 This patch isn't important to be in BP 12.
