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.

Nope. I have not NIS.
From /etc/groups:
camera:x:105:
fcron:x:112:

How fcron know what group to choose? There are no group settings neither 
in config file nor in command options. Did gid setted in compile time? 
But in postinst don't set explicitly what group id assign to fcron group.

Only if somehow your system has fucked up its passwd/shadow files.  Did you
change the system users in *any* way?  Activated NIS?  Changed /etc/passwd?
Changed the passwd map in /etc/nsswitch.conf?  Removed the fcron user in
some way behind the package's back?
