I've been seeing this too, but I think the cause is slightly mis-stated above. My normal users are all above UID_MIN, but I was still seeing the problem. However, I found that I had a bunch of system accounts above UID_MIN (qmaild, qmails, and so on), which were also appearing on the login screen.

Could those having the bug: - install d-feet - run d-feet, use the file menu, connect to system bus - go to org.freedesktop.org.Accounts on the left - select their path corresponding to their UID on the right, i.e User1000 - go to Properties, select "RealName" and get the values of those lines?
