Meaning the user setting wins if there's a conflict? Fine.

That bothers me; seems like it'll bite someone sooner or later. And I
don't see a compelling reason to have per-group settings if we have the

One issue you didn't mention is what security level these options are
assumed to have by GUC. That plays into what permissions are needed to
issue the SET/ALTER commands.
