I just ran into the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
$ cat /etc/default/useradd
SHELL=/bin/bash
$ useradd -D
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/bash
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no
$ sudo useradd testuser
$ getent passwd testuser
testuser:x:1081:1082::/home/testuser:

I expected testuser to show /bin/bash for the shell, but that's not the case.
