I also think that this can be considered as a bug. Can you open a bug report about the existence of the "Allow local system administrator login" and the fact that it doesn't work? I continue to think that we should speak to ubuntu developers about this to know what's the right solution between these two :
1. This option should not exist. 2. This option should really enable root login. If you open the bug, I can speak with ubuntu developers to get their opinion.
