Comment(by stuartm):

 Unfortunately this is due to the implementation of Recording Groups being
 fundamentally flawed. Recording groups cease to exist when they contain no
 recordings because they are not independent of the recordings. There is no
 table to store recording groups, they exist only in the recordings table.
 This also has the unfortunate effect of storing recgroups as a string
 rather than an ID, you can't rename groups and handling group names in
 screens requires some ugly string comparisons with special cases for
 Default translation.

 This won't change until someone takes the time to re-write recgroup
 support properly. e.g. storing the groups in a table, referenced by unique
 id internally with a user defined display name and password.
