Well, the only place where I see "unknown uid" string is here:

int vlock_main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        sigset_t sig;
        struct sigaction sa;
        struct vt_mode vtm;
        struct termios term;
        uid_t uid = getuid();

        pw = getpwuid(uid);
        if (pw == NULL)
                bb_error_msg_and_die("unknown uid %d", uid);

But adduser surely doesn't call vlock!
It calls passwd. Maybe it is printed here?

int passwd_main(int argc, char **argv)
{
...
        pw = getpwnam(name);
        if (!pw) bb_error_msg_and_die("unknown user %s", name);

Can you check whaich of these messages is printed?
