digging through current source in useradd.c this must happen here or later:

        /*
         * Put the new (struct passwd) in the table.
         */

        if (!pw_update (&pwent)) {
                fprintf (stderr,
                         _("%s: error adding new password entry\n"), Prog);
                exit (E_PW_UPDATE);
        }


It does *not* crash, if a group id of an existing group was given with option
"-g $gid"
