Hi,
after a long time of searching I found the program which is responsible for this problem: /usr/bin/grpck (from package passwd)

The command 'grpck -s' removes any NIS-related lines (lines starting with '+') from /etc/group file without any notification (neither a message nor a return state different from 0)

Because both commands (adding the nis lines to /etc/group and also sorting /etc/group) are part of cron jobs it was difficult to find.

Sorry for the false alarm.

I'll create a separate Bug report for the passwd package.

Cheers, Christian
