I tried again and I wasn't able to reproduce the problem.
Maybe I did something weird with my config last time, but I can't
remember what it could have been...

A recursive chown for system accounts (with their home directory
somewhere in '/var') sounds like a good idea.
For user accounts (in '/home'), I guess it could be slightly annoying if
a user wants to set a specific group id to some of their files and if it
gets set back to the 'users' group at each system reconfiguration.
However it's probably not a very common use case, and if we only change
the files' uid, they could end up with an invalid gid anyway.
