This is not the same as #248133. IN that bug, there was an error
logged even though there was a password set.
In your configuration the error is actually correct. If you were
logging in from a secure terminal, you would be allowed in even
without a password since no password is set for the user.
It is the tty check that is preventing your login. Compare the
behavior if you change nullok_secure to nullok in
/etc/pam.d/common-auth.
