Thanks for the patch!  I ended up using a different implementation, that also works for pattern rules.  I also checked for an "old" peer target, not just a missing peer target and added a few more tests.

Mon 25 Jul 2022 03:01:35 PM UTC, original submission:  

The presence of the grouped target's peers are not considered when checking if the target needs to be rebuilt.

For example, if `a` and `b` are grouped target peers (`a b &:`), and only `a` is explicitly referenced in the DAG, the presence of `b` isn't considered. `b` missing would not trigger the rule.

This is inconsistent with how the dependencies of `a` and `b` are treated. In the example above, if `b`'s dependencies were newer than `a`, out-of-date, or missing, `a` and `b` would ultimately be rebuilt as a consequence, even though `b` isn't referenced in the DAG.

For better consistency, it is appropriate to rebuild `a` whenever any of its peers are missing.

This would additionally solve a scenario where `c` depends on `a`, and `d` depends on `b`, and both `c` and `d` are goal targets. If only `a` is considered out of date, `c` is rebuilt, but not `d`. However, `b` is rebuilt, so on the next invocation of make (with no changes), `d` will be rebuilt due to it being older than `b`.

See attachment "0001-Fix-grouped-targets-consistency.patch" for proposed set of changes.
