Yes, several times.  I have also successively: (1) restored the contents of /var/lib/AccountsService/users from my last F29 backup; (2) moved the newly created userid's file completely out of that directory; and (3) moved my normal userid's /etc/passwd entry to the end of the file (i.e., after the new userid's entry), retaining UID and GID of both.  Each step with a reboot.

You can delete all the files out of the users directory, they will get created next login.

Where does the account service find the info to fill these back in?

And, hand-edits get overwritten, then. (Just verified this.)

My original userid's SystemAccount flag has now been re-set to 'true.'
