That's not a bug.
Smart Collections (the groups on the homescreen) are not designed to be like folders.
All installed apps are always located on Homescreen and in other Smart Collections they've been added to manually or automatically.

From UX point of view I would like to have the option to remove the app shortcut from homescreen without being removed from Smart Collections too. For example SoundCloud is displayed 3 times : Music and Social Smart Collections and then on homescreen too. Is this possible now or could be?

It's currently not possible. It's a conscious decision made by Mozilla UX.
There were quite a few discussions and bugs opened on this subject (i.e. Bug 875303)
