That's not a workaround, that's the normal procedure. Why would you use
'passwd -e' in the first place, if you want ot change your own password?
The only bug I can see here is that PolicyKit should allow users to
authenticate even if their password is marked for expiration until they
log change it. Though, maybe there's a rationale for not doing so...
** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)

Changing your password does not allow admin authentication before session is
restarted
