The initial /etc/passwd from the image becomes the first version of the file in the deployment. Afterwards, if the the user modifies the file locally, then that local version is used. If the user does not modify the file locally, then on updates of the image, the file would be updated. See https://ostreedev.github.io/ostree/deployment/#contents-of-a-deployment. This particular version of this problem is a result of how rpm-ostree and bootc do this. But a similar problem would manifest in any scenario with local users/groups and "upstream" users/groups being allocated from the same range.
