I searched for a similar bug report. I'm surprised I didn't find one and wonder if my search terms were off.

Allowing a user to reset their password from a lock screen for a month after password expiry is no less secure than allowing the user's password to expire one month later and emailing them relentlessly. If you allow the option to lock them out and require a password reset at a time period earlier than their expiration, their security privileges are never escalated, only reduced. I think that's an acceptable security policy, and would also be a very useful feature. something something pipe to passwd, maybe?
