From User::getEffectiveGroups:

Get the list of implicit group memberships this user has.
This includes all explicit groups, plus 'user' if logged in,
'*' for all accounts and autopromoted groups

This is wrong as the list would depends on the group membership(s) of the requesting user.

Maybe User::getAllGroups needs a hook call instead.
