Now this surprises me, I've also had useradd scriptlet problems (mach package) that seemed to be caused by a delay between the group being added and that group becoming visible when the user is then added to it. Switching off nscd fixed this problem for me (reproducible).I'm running LDAP auth, and I have already tried turning off nscd which didn't help.
Note that if you try installing the package, it breaks and _then_ you switch off nscd and try again you may be getting errors due to an inconsistent state being left by the initial "with nscd on" installation attempt.
Try removing the package, checking /etc/passwd and /etc/group to make sure that the user/group is not there, _then_ make sure nscd is off then reinstall. I've not been able to produce an error with nscd off and starting from a known good state.
(I'm also using LDAP auth).
