Description VK 2016-10-11 11:38:01 UTC 
After upgrade from 10.3 to 11.0-RELEASE-p1 I noticed that adding users breaks like this:

# pw useradd testusr -m
pw: user 'testusr' disappeared during update

# grep testusr /etc/passwd
testusr:*:1002:1002:User &:/home/testusr:/bin/sh

# grep testusr /etc/master.passwd
testusr:*:1002:1002::0:0:User &:/home/testusr:/bin/sh

# id testusr
id: testusr: no such user

# pw userdel testusr -r
pw: no such user `testusr'

# pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd

# id testusr
uid=1002(testusr) gid=1002(testusr) groups=1002(testusr)

Possibly same issue as bug #165954, as the upgrade process did add/change some user groups...

It is for sure the same issue as the one you pointed, it is the case until one run pw_mkdb for the first time then it disappears.

I have no idea what causes it
