IIRC, if the UID in the config file is parsed as an integer, it fails. It looks like that's the case with your demo script, Marco. See an earlier comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1396362/comments/4

Right now I'm struggling with random group IDs being created for multiple users. I specified the UIDs as 1000 and 1010, but I end up with groups to match them either u1000:g1000 and u1010:g1010 or u1000:g1011 and u1010:g1010.

The outstanding bug, imho, is the intolerance of integers in the YAML, and feature request for explicit group IDs.
