I changed common-password to be identical to what it is on another machine that doesn't have sssd installed, and everything works now. That involved deleting the sssd line, as well as some pam_unix options. Seems like this ought to be done when SSSD is removed. In any event, SSSD is still blocking local password changes in 13.04, even for the root account.
