I don't know if it helps, but I always had problems like "no input field
for password" or the "double unlock" (if the first problem does not
occur, unlock presented another unlock field with a sightly different
screen) problem on my notebook. Then I noticed, I have a package
installed named "light-locker" (I am not sure about the name though,
just by heart now). After removing that package I had no problem like
these since then! Since I've installed meta-packages xubuntu-desktop and
lubuntu-desktop as well (so I can test different desktops) it can be a
reason as (if I am correct) these packages depends on light-locker.
Removing them caused those meta packages to be removed as well (again,
if I remember well enough), but at least since then I have no problem
with regular ubuntu (unity) desktop locking&unlocking.

Bug description:
  Sometimes (but not always) after locking the screen there is the
  situation not having any input field where I can type the password to
  unlock the session again. The shaded gray area simply does not have
  the input field. I can't do anything, I have to switch to text console
  and stop/start lightdm service to cure the problem loosing all of my
  session :(
