Thank you both for the clarification! I can work with them being visible for 
now, was just wondering why they were suddenly showing up after the migration. 
An option to eventually change a regular grouo to a user private group, or even 
a persistent way to filter these from view would be a nice-to-have eventually! 
Again, your time is much appreciated!

A clarification that may not be evident from Rob's reply.
What he implied is that migration moves "user-private groups" in the
new instance as regular groups. This is why you see them in the UI.
Unfortunately there is no "blessed" method to turn a regular group into
a user-private group ...

Simo.
