I had the same problem today on Hardy with the latest updates. I did boot with a live CD and restored my password, shadow and group file from by backup. I found out, that there have been 5 lines of characters with hex sequence 0a 41 in the group file. The line before this sequence is repeated thereafter.
I deleted the lines with these characters and users-admin works correctly.
With these line in the group file, users-admin destroys all groups, except the first two lines (root and daemon).
I cant see any DBUS errors in my daemon.log or syslog file.
