Hmmm. So I started to put together some cloud-init user data today to
"work around" this issue. However, as mentioned in the github issue [1],
I found that usermod ran successfully but then the user wasn't actually 
added to any groups. What I found was that /etc/group is pretty much empty 
except for the root and fedora groups.

-bash-4.3# cat /etc/group
root:x:0:
fedora:x:1000:

This would explain why usermod passes (exit code 0) but there is no
change in behavior.
