Running 'id' shows the current process information. Running 'id user' shows the system information for the a specified user. These are not necessarily the same. For example if changes are made to the group list while the user is logged in then only new login processes will become members of the newly added groups. Currently logged in processes will not be in the groups added after login. In that case 'id' and 'id user' will show different information. I think you might be confused by group changes made while the process is already logged into the host. This issue of 'id' versus 'id user' does not seem related to the original Bug#175994 report about handling of large numbers of groups exceeding the NGROUPS_MAX kernel value.
