Public bug reported:

Orignally running Ubuntu 14.04 and upgraded to 14.10.
After Upgrade each time one of the "passwordless accounts" is logged in - once the lock screen for said account is displayed, either though manual lock or from timeout, it requires a password.  Pressing enter (I.E. input no password) results in "Incorrect Password" being displayed.

There appears to be no way back into this account.
