Poking around on this, some background in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1292892

After that bug, I think dnf was made to error out if a *mandatory*
package from a selected group cannot be installed, but not if a
*default* package from a selected group cannot be installed.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1427365

A similar case I came across recently (outside of anaconda).

I *think* comps entries with no explicit 'type' default to being
treated as 'default', not 'mandatory', and dnf is considering it to be
OK if a 'default' group package cannot be installed. After looking at
the references, I'm pretty sure this is not how yum behaved. I don't
know offhand why this behaviour was changed in dnf.
