I guess rather not. Looking at it a second time, especially at the group
description http://groups-beta.google.com/group/Asterisk-test/about
one can guess what's happened here, and that most likely neither is google
involved nor is this group an actual mirror.

My hypothesis: someone created this group, as any registered user can,
and just subscribed that group's email address Asterisk-test at googlegroups.com
to the list. Espcially, postings to the group then will not be propagated
to this list but stay local there. Most likely just some user creating kind
of his own searchable archive while possibly misleading new users to think it
might be a legitimate asterisk group.

Maybe even a reaction to the recent discussion about forums and stuff.

Regards, Bruno.
