Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch)
Release:        13.10

i3lock:
  Installed: 2.5-1
  Candidate: 2.5-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.5-1 0
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Sometimes i can't get my screen unlocked back and i had to switch to the
text console by Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in there and kill the locker. There are
auth error messages in /var/log/auth.log appear on unlock attempt:

Sep  6 09:19:34 zimbabve unix_chkpwd[28581]: password check failed for user 
(mike)
Sep  6 09:19:34 zimbabve i3lock: pam_unix(i3lock:auth): authentication failure; 
logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=mike

Googling discovers only the fact that this behavior is common for some
other lockers like Xlock and so on.

Maybe systemd-logind related bug
