Speaking as the (former) maintainer, this is really a bug in users-
admin, but it's no longer developed since it's been replaced with the
new GNOME control center applet upstream. (The new applet doesn't allow
setting a password-less account.) If the bug had been reported against
the gnome-system-tools, I'd had fixed the bug back in 2010, but now,
it's too late for me... :-/
I don't think the workaround should be added in GDM, because I don't
think it would be easy due to how PAM works.
