This is normal behaviour of the option.
Checkbox is not here to avoïd mirroring of vertex group.
It is here to lateralize vertex group.


Take a look at this .blend.

Bone.L is selected. If you move it, Bone.L's vertex group is mirrored.
When selected bone is moved, both sides of mesh are moving.

If option is checked on Mirror modifier, vertex groups are modified.
Bone.R is moving right side of mesh and Bone.L is only moving left side.

Tested with 2.76b and 2.77rc1, both are working as intended.
