I don't think you want to create a group by the name of 0. 0 is the Group Id of the group Public, which is why sending emails to 0 sends it to Public. Creating a group of 0 (even if the system does allow that) would probably cause conflicts you do not even want. I'd rather suggest checking if the notified group is 0 with a Filter and if so, set that notification field to app admin group or something to notify them that there was nobody notified of that ticket.
That it would send a notification to Public when - is in the notify field is a bit strange..

Create a user with a username, or group with a group name, of "-". Create another one with a name of "0". That way if this happens again Remedy will interpret it as the group or user by that name and only attempt to notify that group/user instead of all users.

Don't use a 0 either. Same thing happened to me a few years ago.
