Should fix this. We missed this in testing as the delay between
last-task-exit and group destruction was always sufficiently large as
to ensure that the task_group had aged out of shares updates (as
opposed to requiring explicit removal).

With autogroup obviously the window here is essentially instantaneous
which leads to the buggy removal code being executed.
