OK, this fixed the error but doesn't solve the original problem.  I
tried to expire to an non-existent group and it didn't create it on
the fly.

I don't understand why you are checking for the existence of the group
from which the expiry is called.  Doesn't that exist by definition?

Shouldn't one be checking for the existence of the group returned by
nnmail-expiry-target?
