So your system isn't broken, it's just that adduser doesn't interact
well with automount. I'm not sure why this doesn't work (i.e. why /home
isn't mounted when adduser tries to access it), nor if it should work.
But that's not a bug in users-admin. You could report a bug against
adduser in Debian (which develops it), but I don't understand why
adduser would need to be aware of the fact that /home is an automount
point: are they supposed to be transparent to applications?
Ideally we should report the error in the dialog, but as I said that
wouldn't be easy, and as users-admin are deprecated, we'd better spend
our time improving the new tools that will be used in new releases.
