If this is not the right place to post about
util-linux, please tell me where to post.
I'm posting here because util-linux is at kernel.org.

If you have problems with some software shipped with a distribution the
best choice is usually the support / bug tracking system of your
distribution.
In your case, the problem seems to be already reported as Gentoo
bug #107680 [1].
BTW, I am using gentoo and I also tried USE=old-crypt.
No way!
I needed to install the version 2.12i to recover
my information.
Is this related with util-linux or has something
to do with gentoo patches or something?

You are using features not present in the upstream util-linux but added by patches Gentoo applies.
