It may be easier than I thought.  All that should be needed is to
locally set `bbdb-always-add-addresses' to nil in the offending group by
setting it as a group parameter (variables have values local to the
group with this).  Unfortunately it seems as if BBDB only checks the
global value, as I'm still asked whether to add the new addresses even
though the local value is nil.
