Do you happen to have your old /etc/shadow still? Perhaps from a backup?
The only root-password changing bit I'm aware of is this:
# Fix root password of '!' for vm-builder installed instances. Unrelated

Ditto! I took an update to 8.04 this morning and found my root password
had suddenly changed. Fortunately I was able to re-set it using sudo.
