users-admin removes from groups users not in /etc/passwd (ADS, LDAP)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
I've set up several machines running Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 which are
integrated in an Active Directory Network (ADS) controlled by a Windows Server.
I did this using samba and winbind, and now these machines can be used with
local and domain accounts (domain accounts are not listed in /etc/passwd but
are managed by winbind).
To allow some domain users to gain administrative privileges I added them
manually to the admin group with 'adduser'. After that, if you use System ->
Administration -> Users and Groups to add a new user or delete an existing one,
all the domain users (not local users) which were granted admin rights will
lose their privileges. This happens because they are deleted from the admin
group in /etc/group.
The problem does not occur when using the command line utility (adduser).
