Do you have any news about this bug.

Can you still reproduce it?
Or did you remember what you did to fix it (update a PAM module, fix the PAM
configuration).

My current hypothesis is that there were a problem or corruption in a PAM
module (once the passwd: prompt is displayed, PAM is involved).

I will probably close this bug in one week.

Kind Regards,
