That happens if you 'update' is rpm -e + rpm -i. It's being done automatically - the only thing it the spec file is to create it if it doesn't exist.
No, I religiously use -U. The problem is that -U does the -i before the -e, so the uninstall scripts for the old version remove the ntop user after the new version sees the user and skips adding him.
There's not a whole lot you can do about this, so this is more a heads-up to anyone updating from a version with the old spec file. You'll need to re-create the ntop user, and reattach his directories (mostly the rrd DB) with chown. Use the useradd and groupadd commands from the new package to re-create the user. Use "rpm -q --scripts ntop" to see the appropriate command line to use.
