Sagemath causing failure of passwd and group files verification

So SAGE changed locations (no longer in /opt/sage), but its user ("sage") was not told of the change. Thus, the shadow service fails, and running  # systemctl status shadow.service I get:

● shadow.service - Verify integrity of password and group files
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/shadow.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2015-01-07 12:03:49 WET; 4min 1s ago
  Process: 515 ExecStart=/usr/bin/pwck -r (code=exited, status=2)
 Main PID: 515 (code=exited, status=2)

Bug? I checked for news about this, but couldn't find any...

Yes, please open a bug report (against sage-notebook)

Why sage-notebook? Shouldn't it be against sage-mathematics? Installed in my system is the latter but not the former, and still I encounter this error.

Because the sagemath user handling has been moved to the sage-notebook package.
