Nope. AFAIK, it's always been like this. But I don't think you fully understand what you did. You ran adduser in config. mode, and when it prompted you for a 'mask' for your usernames (a word that you wish to find in *every* username, to enforce some policies), you entered 'test'. It was *not* asking you what user you wanted to add, but what word or charaters you wanted to enforce on all your usernames. Hope this clears it up. Damn, I top-posted again.
