No idea, but it's possible. Especially because -

What happens if you remove the leading dash from that line? I assume
either `chrgrp` or `chmod` fails at some point...
I tried building mlocate myself, but I run into this error with makepkg:
==> Making package: mlocate 0.26.git.20170220-1 (Sun 10 Jun 2018 15:03:17
CEST)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...

Aborting...
Same error with makechrootpkg. I can't find anything weird with the
mlocate PKGBUILD though.

It's indeed odd...

Yeah, probably that is not intended.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand that sentence.
