Change Password in About me, with lchage set, shows two different messages.

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

With the setting for users password expiration configured for chage --mindays=1 myuser

Perform a fresh RHEL 6.7 build, login, and click About Me, Click Change password button.

The first message that appears is correct, the user was just created and needs to wait longer to input password.
However, a password mismatch error appears, even when typing the correct password (password mismatch error is invalid).
