The .feature.group suffixing is done from the p2 side to ensure no collisions between bundle and a feature with id.  A feature is published with the '.feature.group' suffix and the feature's jar file with '.feature.jar'.

The category.xml file is a creature from PDE and so uses the unadulterated feature id.
