I can also confirm this. I have investigated a bit and it seems the problem lies somewhere in backend , or I assume in the way it executes the command to add a user.

cat /etc/passwd | grep "$THE_USER_WITHOUT_HOME" , shows, that the relevant data was added to the users db on the host. users-conf reports this data as expected.

Going to check possible failure points for the users-conf backend tool.
