FYI, in my experience, having the +:::::: in /etc/passwd  breaks the user 
management module.  When it is there, user management will not load.  Tells me 
error about orphaned module (or something like that).  So, I remove it when I 
need to modify a user and replace it when done.

Subject: [Bug 119088] Re: NIS is broken since recent feisty updates

Interesting - it's completely failing to notice the existence of the
account. I've had another go at reproducing this on an amd64 feisty box
talking to a Debian server but everything seems to work fine for me.

What is the output of 'ypmatch -k barney passwd.byname' (this tests the
per-key lookup that libc should be doing)? Do your /etc/passwd and
/etc/group have the +::::: entries in them (with an appropriate number
of colons)?
