See step 4 in the bug report -- that's the problem.
In versions of Ubuntu before Lucid (this is in fact fixed in Lucid), if
an administrator changed a password using System -> Administration ->
Users and Groups, they were able to force-change a user's password
without entering the user's old password. This would break the
encrypted home setup because both the old and new passwords are needed
to re-wrap the wrapped-passphrase.
The "proper" ways of changing a password has always worked with
encrypted home -- that is, System -> Preferences -> About Me, and
passwd.
In any case, the other bug that this one is a duplicate of shows how
this was fixed in gnome-system-tools.
