Are these users defined within Confluence, or come via a LDAP connection? If it's the latter, then has your configuration included adding the users to the confluence-users group? This may make a difference.
In previous versions I think I'm right in saying that users were only visible in the people directory once they had actually logged in to Confluence.
Hope this helps,
Charles
