David: I'd have preferred you report a separate bug. There's absolutely no guarantee you're experiencing the same bug, especially since error reporting has been improved in the last version, hence the symptoms must be different. But let's go on, since the original reporter has not answered for a long time.

First, it seems very weird to me that you're not getting any error message, because we're checking for that in 2.28.0. Please run
sudo killall /usr/bin/perl; sudo /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m UsersConfig -v
and without stopping that process, run 'users-admin' in another terminal, reproduce the problem, and post both outputs here. Thanks!
