I might have some news for you... The problem is not obvious maybe because lots of people are using the GUI to create users BUT if you create a user in CLI with useradd you will bump right away in the problem.
on both Gutsy and Hardy the default shell of useradd is sh useradd -D gives SHELL=/bin/sh on both. At the same time /etc/adduser.conf has DSHELL=/bin/bash Shouldn't the default shell be the same for both useradd and adduser?
