I noticed this problem on Xubuntu 12.04. This bug can be reproduced always. I noticed it while trying to setup a laptop image for my institute. We disabled the userlist for lightdm for security purpose so that users would have to manually type in their username. I noticed that if I made a mistake while typing the user credentials (whether in the password or username) the lightdm gives me the username/password incorrect error but it does not provide me the username dialog box so that I can start all over again. What I get instead is a message that asks me to retype the password (which should not be the case because sometimes the mistake was in the username not the password) When this happens the best way to login is either to switch to console mode and restart lightdm, or to reboot the computer completely. I think this is a major bug which will affect many people who use Ubuntu (or in my case xubuntu) in enterprise.
