This appears wrong to me. You see, stock Debian's nobody is:
$ getent passwd nobody
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh
$ id nobody
uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nogroup) groups=65534(nogroup)
So, you have custom shell for nobody, which can be the source of your
problem, and you have custom groups for nobody, which is asking for
trouble (see /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/users-and-groups.txt.gz).
