Much thanks for the report. This was indeed a mistake : we were identifying users using their UID instead of their login. When changing their UID, we weren't able to find the user to apply the new settings to. It's now fixed upstream and will be available in the system-tools-backends 2.10.0, for Lucid.

Please continue testing Lucid and reporting bugs! May I give you an advice? Please stay very specific about the bug you report. For example, here, the bug is not that you can't hide users in GDM: this is just a consequence of the bug. The precise problem is that changing UID is not working as it's supposed to be. This will help triagers and developers to fix the bugs you find.
