This is a side effect of {1fb0247497b2}. Specifically /intern/cycles/blender/addon/ui.py line 1085

This change was made to hide the MNEE caustic settings from lights (as lights can not make use of those settings), but in doing so removed the spot where the light groups could be selected for light objects.

Original comment:
~~CC @LukasStockner - This issue was probably introduced in revision 49975 of D12871: Cycles: Light Groups by mistake. Can you take a look at this?~~
