According to the documentation
athttp://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/mwg-see-
options.html
The module should not prompt the user for a password. Instead, it
should obtain the previously typed password (by a call to pam_get_item()
for the PAM_AUTHTOK item), and use that. If that doesn't work, then the
user will not be authenticated. (This option is intended for auth and
passwd modules only).
try_first_pass seems to be deprecated as a generic optional argument.
This appears to be working as designed. You may want to talk with the
PAM developers upstream to change the specification.
Thanks for your report!
