Wrong. At least it seems to me without being an expert in the internals.
They truly are two separate and distinct bugs.
Read the short descriptions
One is an issue regarding shutdown
One is regarding user-switching
One successfully processes a password authentification
One (seemingly) does not
One can result in data loss (due to shut down)
One can only result in data compromise

You seem to have filed two bugs by mistake. I'm marking this one as a
dupe.

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gdm
00] Environment - two users logged in. There is a dedicated root-user account,
with a dedicated password, and the other users have NO sudoer privileges.
01] User#1 request to shut down the machine using gnome panel applet
02] response is a black screen with authorization window requiring password
(picture of keys on left side) and warning that another user is logged in.
[[ BTW ### Nothing in the message states which of the three passwords are
being requested! ]]
03] Each of the three passwords are tried at least once
[[ BTW ### None of the passwords are REPORTED to have been accepted ]]
04] After a final shudder and claim that the password could NOT be
authenticated, the authentication window disappears, and the GDM greeter screen
appears.
[[ HUH?! Did it just 'give up', or did it mis-report a proper password
authentification as improper? If so, which password? ]]
05] The GDM greeter allows the computer to be shut down using the button on the
right side of the lower panel.
[[ But this happedned without authentification !! ]]
