That would be a different bug then. Could you paste here the line from
/etc/passwd which was the problem? National characters shouldn't be an
issue as long as they are in  UTF-8; if they aren't, then some strange
tool must have gone wrong when writing to it.

Closing the bug since in Lucid we no longer remove all users and groups
when reading configuration fails. In Hardy we can't do this, but at
least bug 160862 has a task for that, and it may well fix the same
problem.

** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released
