By name (getpwent() lookup). The name is set to 'fcron'. I don't recall if
it uses this only to locate the user and then uses the primary group for
that user, or if it also chegid to fcron.

Yes, it does:
adduser --system --group --home /var/spool/fcron \
--no-create-home --disabled-password fcron
This creates a fcron _system_ user AND a fcron _system_ group.
I have no idea how fcron could get things wrong without external tampering.
