According to the fact that a new bug #178621 has been opened for Gutsy and Hardy which describe the same issue and that I can reproduce that issue myself in both Gutsy and Hardy, I re-open that bug report. It's still not possible to add a new user which already existed in the past. Deleting the associated group before adding the new user is still a workaround.
