But is common practice that exactly because of these problems with 
localization and stability then userfriendly names (titles) shouldn't be 
used identifiers.

Showing and clicking titles in a GUI and not showing identifiers is a 
good idea.

But on the commandline it would be nice if yum grouplist also showed 
identifiers, and it should be recommended to always use these.

IMHO ;-)
