This has been experienced in Ubuntu 12.04, completely updated before
proceeding.
I set up a system for my elderly parents. I created an administrator
account for me, then a standard account for them with an empty password.
They called me asking how to create a password for their account. I
guided them to the settings manager only to find that they couldn't
change their empty password.
I had to create a password from my admin account first. Then they could
change it through the standard mechanisms.
It should be possible for a standard user to change its own empty
password.
