OK, so here are the steps: 1. Go to System-> Administration -> Users and Groups 2. Unlock administrative privileges using your password 3. Click Add User 4. Enter: Username=test12; User Password=<any>; Confirmation=<any> 5. Click OK 6. The new user appears on the list 7. Click Close 8. Go to System-> Administration -> Users and Groups 9. The user is gone from the list...
Now - the list is just the symptom of course, the user was never defined. Here's what you see when you invoke users-admin from a terminal window: (users-admin:7738): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: create_dbus_struct_from_user: assertion `(login && password && homedir && shell)' failed (users-admin:7738): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: Not committing due to inconsistencies in the configuration, this reflects a bug in the application So it is reporting some kind of error but I'm not sure what that error is... Lastly - yes, it happens with any user name.
