Do you have any reason to suspect this is a bug in Beaker rather than in the distro?

Can you investigate further to see why useradd things /etc/passwd is locked?

Comment 2 Nick Coghlan 2012-10-17 04:37:16 UTC
Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.

This bugs is closed as it is either not in the current Beaker scope or we could not find sufficient data in the bug report for consideration.
