I've managed to make another simple test: chroot from 9.2-RELEASE kernel 
and I can change the password without a problem, chroot from 10.0-BETA1 
kernel and error appears. No matter if I use 10.0-BETA1 kernel on 
9.2-RELEASE userland or boot from CD image. For tests I turned off 
journal, left only soft-updates.
