I just upgraded my first preproduction system from Chef 10.12 to 10.14 and I'm now getting run fails due to chef-client trying to run usermod with bad syntax. Thanks to the nice error reporting in 10.14 I can give a human readable format of the error:
================================================================================Error executing action `create` on resource 'user[bob]'================================================================================

So what happens when you execute "usermod -u '5656' bob –m" on a box:
sudo usermod -u '5656' bob -mUsage: usermod [options] LOGIN
