Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

The error occured over 50 times now and happens more often when no network connection is available. Despite of that it is hard to reproduce. Sometimes it occurs when network connection is up. A sure sign of a situation when the password will not be accepted is graphical artifacts at the login screen. These vanish after failed attempt and normal login is possible at second attempt - no failure occured then. O.K., here's how to reproduce it: I changed my login manager to gdm and back to lightdm by using "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" as root. The first time lightdm is in use after that the artifacts show up and login is only possible at second attempt. System in use here is XUbuntu 11.10, lightdm is 1.0.6-0ubuntu1.2.
