This is odd, I'll check out the log files.

This location was added for the upgrade case, and is new in RC5.  On
the first boot with phase 1 bits installed, a User location will be
created containing the name service, ipfilter, and ipsec configuration
that is in place on the system at that time.

If that location includes name service configuration that should not
be configured automatically (nis or ldap), the User location will be
enabled by the system.

I would expect that in your case, the User location was active from
the start; the only time a decision is made about activating this
location is on the first enable of network/location, and as its
activation mode is manual, it will only be disabled by explicit user
action.

I suspect this is a side effect of the User location being enabled
(meaning that nis is also enabled) and interfaces not being up.  I've
seen this, and disabling nis/client helps; it seems like the stop
method can't run if nis is unhappy.  This is on my list of things to
investigate...
