Thanks for the report. I think there are several different issues at stake here.

First, when creating an user, its main group is creating under the hood by adduser, and we don't show it until the tool is restarted. This is a known problem, but it's not easy to fix properly, at least in a stable release. But this shouldn't be a major bug: why would you need to edit the user's main group right after creating it?

Second, groups creation seems to fail *for any group* in Lucid. But the error I get is about permissions, not "Unknown error". Could you check that it's the case on your machine? This bug seems to be fixed in the current upstream version, though.
