Actually, that error should only happen when you try to change your *own* name. The fact that the name seems to change while it doesn't is an unrelated bug that should be easy to fix.
I'd need deeper debugging to understand what's going on. Could you install the package for your architecture from: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/s/system-tools-backends/ and then run sudo killall system-tools-backends sudo gdb /usr/sbin/system-tools-backends break dispatcher.c:547 then reproduce the problem, and when gdb stops, type print (message_uid == uid) print message_uid print uid and print the result here. In short, it seems that we're not detecting the right UID for your user, which means you're not allowed to change your own information.
