This problem continues to be embarrassing under 14.04
My evidence for it being a fprintd bug is that the one thing I can do while it is "hung" being timed out is to switch to another user (top right menu). If I do that, the login skips fingerprint access (but password login works okay) until the same amount of time as if I'd waited to log in as myself. That is, if I give it enough time, the fingerprint reader seems to be available for another user, as well, but before that timeout, the rest of the lightdm seems to be working.
