aria-describedby on a fieldset has worked consistently for me when
entering/exiting the fieldset. What happens if you have links around
tis grouping and then tab into it (or shift-tab from the link after)?
Maybe the aria-describedby support has changed, last year this worked
consistently across most of the combinations I tested.
I agree, just put it in the legend.
