Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.

In addition to the 'use_authtok' solution, which is recommended
generally, the specific problem you reported has been resolved as of pam
1.0.1-6:

pam (1.0.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Vietnamese, thanks to Clytie Siddall <[email protected]>
  * New patch dont_freeze_password_chain, cherry-picked from upstream:
    don't always follow the same path through the password stack on
    the PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK pass as was used in the PAM_PRELIM_CHECK
    pass; this Linux-PAM deviation from the original PAM spec causes a
    number of problems, in particular causing wrong return values when
    using the refactored pam-auth-update stack.  LP: #303515, #305882.


** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

-- 
a "new password" failure in a requisite PAM module does not prevent setting 
that password
