I have read the part of the spec concerning buttons, and indeed I do agree
with you. When the “NoToggleToOff” is not present, it should be possible to
leave a group of radio buttons with none of them checked.

It looks to me like a bug in Adobe Reader.

I don't think you've missed anything.  According to the spec, it looks like you
should be able to uncheck the boxes.  I've also found various forum and mailing
list posts complaining about that feature not working in Adobe Reader, or only
working in certain versions.  It looks like the only way to get that behavour
is to remove the radio flag, so they're check boxes instead.
