I wondered about the same thing some time ago. I'm not really sure why
it looks like that. Maybe I should look into it.

Anyway, the fix for your problem is to not use wheel group as the
primary group for your user in /etc/passwd, rather move the user to
wheel group in /etc/group and use some other primary group.

There should have been different error message for this, but I'm not
sure why it doesn't work. I should look into that too :)

Also setting first_valid_gid=0 should work around this, but that doesn't
currently work either.
