Yes.

Oookaaaay.  I thought I just had to remove /etc/{passwd,group}, so that the default “files db” settings would fail to find files and fall back to db.

I’ve forced db in nsswitch.conf and am now getting the expected high ID values and Users group:

  $ id
  uid=197608(Warren) gid=545(Users) … etc.

So, I suppose the question is, why would I get group=Warren when there are no /etc files and nsswitch.conf is empty?

I’m going to treat that as a side issue and apply your suggested modification to the chgrp hack.
