Regarding #17 - I did just experience this problem but with /etc/group.lock instead of passwd. I did use a Guest session immediately before I discovered the breakage. The Guest account crashed when I attempted to play Open Arena, probably due to a fglrx bug. There was a leftover guest-???? group that I deleted.
