Hello, I am also affected by this bug, having ~6000 user accounts on my system. I observe exactly the same things as reported in the original bug report.
I think that lightdm should not consult accountsservice at all, when the number of existing users is large (e.g. more than 100, could be set in the lightdm configuration files). So, probably this is more a lightdm issue. Cheers, Yannis System info (lsb_release -a): No LSB modules are available.
