Privileged and Disabled arguments control that. By default user is not
disabled, but is not privileged as well.

Pretty much. $AutoCreate option controls defaults for email submissions.

Using RT->Nobody is not correct.

Good, except constructor's argument.

RT->SystemUser is ok. Nobody and SystemUser are special RT users.
Nobody has no rights except OwnTicket so he can be owner of any
ticket. SystemUser on the other hand has SuperUser right and can do
anything. So my $group = RT::Group->new( RT->SystemUser ); is one way
to go.

However, when you already have objects around then it's better to get
current users off them:

RT::Group->new( $other_object->CurrentUser )
