Public bug reported:

The User and Groups module's uid parameter does not take effect unless
you specify its value as a string.

I do not know if this is a code defect or if it is working as designed.
If it is working as designed, it would be nice if the documentation were
updated to note that uid should be set as a string instead of an
integer.

This line of code in the base distro class only appends the key-val to the useradd command args if the val is a string:
