I don't have the answer to your question Ted but I have also noticed this in Ubuntu and CentOS!
Just an observation.
Yes, it seems to be the default on Ubuntu, each user has their own group created for them.
I suppose there *is* a possible reason for this. If, say, user 'chris' wants to make his files available to other users then those other users can be added to group 'chris'. This is more specific than having to add them to group 'users' which would give them access to files of any user in group 'users'.
