Hi Pedro,
Sorry, I probably should have closed this a long time ago. The issue I
encountered turned out not to be a bug in Ubuntu; it was due to a rather
unique PAM configuration I was playing with.
Thanks,
David.

Not sure whether this is of any help to you. I encountered the same
symptoms and discovered that the problem stemmed from the permissions of
/etc/pam.d/common-password being incorrectly set to 600 when it should
be 644. Looking at /var/log/auth.log should confirm or deny whether
yours is the same
