This problem also makes it impossible to add a new user and then login as that user. If the newuser is created in terminal then:
$ sudo adduser testing
[sudo] password for colinl:
Adding user `testing' ...
Adding new group `testing' (1005) ...
Adding new user `testing' (1005) with group `testing' ...
Creating home directory `/home/testing' ...
Copying files from `/etc/skel' ...
passwd: System error
passwd: password unchanged
Try again? [y/N]

If the user is added using System, Users and Groups then the add appears to be ok but attempted login gives authorization failure.

The workaround given above fixes both.
