You are saying any dead symlink, or any symlink at all?  If you mean
the former, this is a known bug, fixed in later versions.  If you mean
the presence of any symlink at all causes a problem, can you please
provide a compete listing of /etc/skel (ls -la /etc/skel and ls -l each
file that symlinks point to) and the error output that happens on an
adduser run.

Thanks,
