What's going on here?
A bug. The user is missing in /var/adm/fillup-templates/passwd.aaa_base . It's present in shadow.aaa_base and will be filled into /etc/passwd in the postinstall script of aaa_base.
Can I happily delete this user?
Yes. Roman. -- - - | Roman Drahtmüller <draht@suse.de> // "Caution: Cape does | SuSE GmbH - Security Phone: // not enable user to fly." | Nürnberg, Germany +49-911-740530 // (Batman Costume warning label) | - -
