I have successfully added field groups to different content types and added them as features components; this works great. The field groups are automatically created when the feature is enabled.

However, when I make field groups under "Account Settings" (the user profiles), they are not automatically created when I enable the feature; I don't see them in the interface at all.

I tried creating a field group manually that was enabled as a features component on the Account Settings page; Drupal allowed me to do this. When I then went to the features management page, it showed the feature as overridden. When I reverted the feature and went back to the Account Settings page, the field group I had created manually was gone.

In short: it appears that field groups do not get created properly when they are on the Account Settings page. Hopefully these steps allow you to reproduce the problem.

Seeing the same issue here with 7.x-1.1

Check your MODULE_NAME.module file of the feature. It is probably missing a line that looks like: 

include_once('MODULE_NAME.features.inc');

If it is missing then add that line, changing the name to reflect the name of the module. Clear the cache and it should work.

In my case I had originally created the feature without any components that required the MODULE_NAME.features.inc file. When I added some field groups which do require that file, Features won't overwrite the MODULE_NAME.module file, so the necessary code doesn't get included automatically.

I see you deleted the group first. So i probably know what is going on.
If you download latest dev, you'll se a vertical tab: "Disabled fieldgroups". There you can enable it.

It's a bug that still exists. But i have a support issue on the features issue queue for help. #1239734: Feature not beïng set to overriden, when a ctools export (fieldgroup) is disabled

I'm closing this issue, and we can continue in #1619154: Fieldgroup exported feature reports as Overridden just after creating the feature
