I was not yet able to test the fix mentioned above. But I noticed that with my 
workaround the user "nobody" (uid 65534) is listed as in lightdm.
It is listed by accountsservice if I query it via dbus:

root@pc:~/tmp# qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Accounts
/
/org
/org/freedesktop
/org/freedesktop/Accounts
/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User65534
[..]
/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000

Hopefully this has been taken care of in the patched version?

I'll try to test the utopic version tomorrow.

@Robert Ancell: 
1. is this the correct way to restart the accountsservice?:
/usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon --replace &

2. I couldn't find a lot of documentation for accountsservice could you
give me a hint for a good start?
