This is not actually a bug, as the account is locked and can be unlocked in the "Account Info" tab.

Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten
around to fix this issue, sorry for that.

Because I don't actively develop system-config-users anymore, I won't likely
find the time to work on this ticket, so I'll close it now.
