Now after adding the group name `gud' to the GUD tooltips customize
variables, the group `gud' contains the following misleading labels:

GUD modes: Show Value

GUD buffers predicate: Show Value

Among other GUD-related options they don't indicate that really they
are used for tooltips.

I suggest removing their tags to show unambiguous labels that have the
word "tooltip".

I think you are right.  The first option in a customization group
should turn the whole mode on/off.  But the same problem exists in
many other mode customization groups.  Moving `define-minor-mode' to be
before all `defcustom' definitions in these modes would be a lot of work.

Perhaps there should be some generic solution, e.g. using a heuristic
to place an option with the substring "-mode" before other options in
the customization buffer or something like this.
