It seems to be related to libpam-thinkfinger's use of uinput. libpam-thinkfinger creates a uinput device to send a EV_KEY/KEY_ENTER press and release. This event _should_ emulate the enter key being pressed after a finger swipe so that the user does not have to press it manually.
I don't see any errors in the pam debug output about sending the enter event. Either libpam-thinkfinger is misusing uinput somehow or GDM is not processing the key event (maybe it's blocking focus on the password prompt textbox?).
I can confirm this on Intrepid as well.
