Works for me with the 2015-05-14 x86_64 snapshot.

However, note that

 > getent passwd
and
 > getent group

output duplicate lines for some users/groups:

> getent group | wc
     18      31     731
> getent group | sort -u | wc
     15      28     587
> getent passwd | wc
      9      13     677
> getent passwd | sort -u | wc
      6       9     437

Bug or feature?
