Not a bug - the default configuration is to synchronize the system password with the samba password when set via samba. Look for passwd chat in smb.conf.
The smbpasswd command, when run as root, will not cause any syncronisation to occour. Either the PAM configuration on the system has been set to use pam_smbpass, or the password was changed as non-root, causing a 'password sync'. Andrew Bartlett
