user001 spuriously fails if getGroupEntryForID correctly fails
In some cases, a user's current group ID can be a number for a non-existent group. While this usually indicates the system is misconfigured in some way, it can also occur inside chroots or other environments where the information in /etc/groups is not to be considered reliable. Unfortunately, the user001 has no way of telling that the failure is proper, and fails the test anyway. We ought to do something more robust.
