Users don't get to select their usergroup for frontend registrations so it has never been an issue. Are you accepting a POST value for "gids"? The below tutorial does not do this as it specifically sets it to your Joomla new user usergroup parameter, which has no cause for concern.

If you are accepting a usergroup value from POST you need to apply filtering to it and clean out any usergroup ids you don't want to accept.
