I tried booting from the liveCD and chrooting into the system on disk. That worked. Then I tried to change the password of my user and rebooting. No dice.
We're going to have to find the pam packages that were upgraded, and revert them.
Unfortunately, I have little knowledge of apt/dpkg.
Basically....
boot from live cd
open terminal
sudo su - root
mkdir /mnt/chroot
mount /dev/XXX /mnt/chroot (where XXX is your linux partition)
chroot /mnt/chroot /bin/bash
apt-get --something-here-to-revert-pam
If you can figure out the last step, props to you. Welcome to the world of Alpha releases.
