I think the bug is in shadow, as there have been changes in this area
recently:
shadow (1:4.0.15-10) unstable; urgency=high
+ check the return value of fchown before fchmod when the mailbox is
created by useradd
+ The patch also uses login.defs::MAIL_DIR instead of /var/mail.

adduser doesn't touch the mail spool when adding users. I am not
reassigning yet, as I am not positive. Can you test with an earlier
useradd and let me know if the bug is indeed there?

I suspect it's procmail, but yes. It's an MDA thing, and a feature at
that.
Thanks,
