Mmmm.  It looks to me like the adduser provider requires the Ruby 'shadow'
library to be able to get the "age" field - or it unconditionally returns
"absent" without any additional information.

Which would explain your problem.  Can you verify my guess, please?

1. Install the ruby shadow library, confirm if the problem goes away.
2. If so, file a bug complaining that isn't entirely reasonable.
   (At least, not silently. :)
