I guess I could mention that I got the comment about $1$ from the shadow man page. the newusers man page describes the input file being just like a passwd file entry with a few things left out, but all the columns there. That's probably all that's needed to repro this from the interface viewpoint. pam.d does have a newusers entry on my system:

root@radioflyer:/etc/pam.d# cat newusers
# The PAM configuration file for the Shadow 'newusers' service
#

# This allows root to add users with a batch file without being
# prompted for a password
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so

# checks for account validity
account required pam_permit.so
