Sebastien, that is an interesting question!

sudo userdel --remove -- newuser
- This gives the same problem.

However, the manual for userdel says:
"On Debian, administrators should usually use deluser(8) instead."

So I tried:

sudo deluser --remove-home -- newuser
- That command worked correctly.

Therefore, the conclusion seems to be that the accountsservice should
call "/usr/sbin/deluser --remove-home -- <user>" instead of userdel.
