Solidify always works on the entire mesh (like "select all, extrude anything along the normal"). The group only controls the thickness. If vertices are not within the group, then they will still be extruded, but the extrusion distance is 0 (weight=0). This is not a bug. This is how solidify works.

yeah, I agree... But parts of mesh in this case are separated. It's not a problem. I just have thought it's a bug.
