I've pushed a fix in upstream gnome-system-tools 2.31.92: if you don't
provide a non-empty password, the account will still be disabled and
appear as such, and password-less login won't be enabled. The solution
is a little hacky since there's no explanation of why password-less
login has no effect, but at least you won't suffer from this silly an
unexpected situation.
Now, we still need gnome-screensaver to be consistent with GDM, and allow
password-less login too. This will simply require adding a:
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin
line in /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver, right before:
@include common-auth
