I have the same bahvior. Both with nVidia and ATI cards. I do not
think it is related to a specific driver. I get this from the gdm login
as well as from the login to unlock screen after screen saver.
I have discovered it only happens with passwords longer that 8
characters. trying passwords of 9 and 10 in length, it consistently
fails exactly when i hit the 9th character. Passwords of eight
characters do not cause the behavior.
here are my specs.
