I can reproduce this on Ubuntu MATE 14.04.1 (gnome-system-tools
3.0.0-3ubuntu4) and Ubuntu MATE 14.10 (3.0.0-3ubuntu5). Specifically,
the entire program doesn't hang (nor is there any CPU runaway), the
"Change User Password" dialog itself becomes unresponsive and can be
closed, and the password does not change.

I get less terminal output than @intherye when I run (not getting any
output when closing the window):

$ users-admin

(users-admin:2402): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error
communicating asynchronously with the backends: Launch helper exited
with unknown return code 255

The same happens when I run users-admin over ssh from linux but,
interestingly, NOT when I run over ssh from OS X: same terminal output,
and the UI isn't decorated (using OpenSSH_6.7p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1j 15 Oct
2014 for macports and XQuartz 2.7.8_beta1 on OS X 10.10.1).

Title:
  [users-admin] User settings might hang when password is too simple

Status in Ubuntu MATE:
  New
Status in xfce4-settings:
  Invalid
Status in gnome-system-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When changing password in Xfce-Settings -> Users and Groups, and
  supplying a "too simple" password (e.g. "a12345"), the application
  might hang. On the first time the application says "Password too
  simple", on the second try, the application hangs, until you close it.

  I could reproduce that on two machines (one KVM beta2 and on Laptop )
  running Xubuntu 14.04 and one Laptop running Xubuntu 13.10.
