I've noticed this as well.  I've always assumed it's a knock-on effect from
the error in the users file.  Same way missing a quote or a semi colon in
something like perl can cause dozens of knock on errors that go away when
you fix the actual problem.

The configuration parsing in freeradius is very complex, so it wouldn't be
surprising if a formatting error causes a 'cascade effect'.  Or it might be
because if the users file can't be read, then the 'files' module isn't
instantiated.

Bottom line, I wouldn't worry about it.  In fact, I don't worry about it.
Fix the users file, everything works.  :-)
