Hi there!
I can confirm this problem, too. Apparently this is caused by problems in
parsing the /etc/gshadow information. It is fixed in Debian, see their bug
report:

(Jerzy: this is why a password in /etc/group -- bad idea :-) -- works).
Hello, I confirm this problem, after short investigation i've found that:
- if password is in /etc/gpasswd - newgrp doesn't work,

Anyway - please fix it, as it's rather disturbing bug.
TIA
