I have a users: section like the following:

users:
  - name: stephan
    passwd: $MY_PWD
    groups:
      - docker
      - portage
      - sudo
      - systemd-journal
    ssh-authorized-keys:
      - ssh-rsa $MY_KEY

The user gets properly created, pwd & ssh key are properly set but the user only gets added to sudo, docker & stephan but not to portage & systemd-journal.

Also I'm missing references for those within /etc/group:

# cat /etc/group
wheel:x:10:root,core
sudo:x:150:stephan
docker:x:233:core,stephan
stephan:x:1000:

This is with CoreOS 509.1.0

I haven't had a chance to investigate this yet, but I haven't forgotten about it!

This is a long standing issue with shadow-utils not being able to deal with
our two passwd and group files. My intent is to resolve it by switching to
the new systemd sysusers mechanism for managing system users and groups.
