I see the same on 14.04, even without "-" on the su.
The test also lacked the -c for the command, and "-" would need to be at the end or specified as "-l".
Also we might execute something that doesn't add output, to easen debugging (/bin/true)

Anyway - that just refines the simple test, the issue is there as
reported.

Simplified test:
su testuser -c "/bin/true"

Title:
  'call to get_tasks_recursive failed' errors from su

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 14.04 all of a sudden I'm seeing these two error messages coming up every time I use su -, whether in a script or interactive shell:
  call to remove-on-empty (freezer:0) failed: invalid request
  call to get_tasks_recursive failed: Invalid arguments received in reply

  Example and how to reproduce:

  root@localhost:~# su - test "echo hello"
  call to remove-on-empty (freezer:0) failed: invalid request
  -su: echo hello: No such file or directory
  call to get_tasks_recursive failed: Invalid arguments received in reply
  call to get_tasks_recursive failed: Invalid arguments received in reply
  root@localhost:~# su - test
  call to remove-on-empty (freezer:0) failed: invalid request
  test@localhost:~$ 

  
  This only seems to affect Ubuntu 14.04
