It certainly cannot be committed anymore before the release of Etch as we have a string freeze (except in exceptional cases). I also don't feel it is something that needs to be explained in the installer itself, but is more appropriate for the installation guide. However, the installation guide is currently frozen as well. TBH, I don't see how a clear kernel/udev issue can be mitigated by something as trivial as this. As if random users will understand what the implications are of being a member of certain groups. IMO this is just papering over the issue. Professional sysadmins can be expected to check what groups an automatically created account is a member of (and will probably not create the first account to be given out to any random user anyway).
