Looking at the git log this seems to be handling very specific case
where the rootfs is read only, quite likely this test was failing on
some specific embedded hardware. As far as I can tell this sounds like a
reasonable solution to the problem.

Sounds good, there is no point not to map missing useradd to TCONF, I
just want to avoid mapping segfaulting or otherwise faulty useradd to
TCONF as well.
