KDE and Gnome seem to not have the issue in general (To admit - I didn't try myself the Gnome case yet), so in Artful it might be resolved by the switch to Gnome. I didn't hear from the Desktop Team yet about accountsservice getting a fix.
Also for now there is a workaround in [1] If this gets no attention for a (more correct and preferred general solution by the desktop Team) we might add that in a libvirt update, but as it is a symptomatic fix only I'd prefer the other solution. And in turn all the affected packages would have to get such a fix (probably even more and in general as users could add "hidden-shell" type users on their own - and those shouldn't be displayed as well.
