Public bug reported:

After an upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 was completed I left
the system running and did not reboot it. Later on the lock screen
kicked in and there was no password dialog anymore, I only saw
"Authentication failed" and could not log into the system. Lines similar
to the following can be found in the system's journal:

The following lines are displayed in the journal:
juil. 04 09:27:07 ubuntu compiz[1692]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_unix.so): 
/lib/security/pam_unix.so: Ne peut ouvrir le fichier d'objet partagé: Aucun 
fichier ou dossier de ce type
juil. 04 09:27:07 ubuntu compiz[1692]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_unix.so
juil. 04 09:27:07 ubuntu compiz[1692]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_systemd.so): 
/lib/security/pam_systemd.so: Ne peut ouvrir le fichier d'objet partagé: Aucun 
fichier ou dossier de ce type
juil. 04 09:27:07 ubuntu compiz[1692]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_systemd.so

This is because the gnome-session-inhibit call is terminated after the
upgrade completed.

[Test Case]
1) Setup the lock screen on an Ubuntu 16.04 system running Unity
2) Upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 using do-release-upgrade or update-manager -d
3) Do not reboot, wait for the lock screen to take effect
4) Observe that you cannot log in anymore

With the version of ubuntu-release-upgrader from -proposed the lock
screen will not kick in after the upgrade.

[Regression Potential]
Its possible the check for Unity in XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is incorrect and the 
lock screen can still kick in.
