I have this issue as well. It's a bug. You can see it on opensolaris.org.

Bug ID: 6178396 useradd(1M), usermod(1M), userdel(1M), groupadd(1M), groupmod(1M), groupdel(1M) do not audit actions

It says they are not really looking at a fix for this and the workaround is to use pfexec. I don't really like the workaround. I really wish they would fix this.
