That's not the real question, though.

The problem is that adduser(8)'s behavior is not *documented*,
long-standing or not.

This is the closest adduser(8) comes to explaining the behavior:

            1.   Add the appropriate entries to the password and group 
files

Is that insufficient for someone fairly new to Unix?  Maybe.
