I am responsible for this behavior:

https://issues.jasig.org/browse/CAS-1107

I hope I can convince you that it is indeed an improvement. The
throttles enforce a _rate_ defined in failed attempts per minute. You
configured 10/minute, which is one authentication every six seconds.
Thus if you attempted even two successively in less than six seconds,
the throttle flag would be set, and the third attempt would fail.
Waiting more than six seconds for a subsequent authentication would
allow the flag to be cleared and the authentication to proceed.

The discussion on the issue goes into further detail and analysis of
the behavior; review the unit tests for the gory details.
