Some things to consider:
     -Have you tried just rebuilding PAM?
     -When did this issue start occurring and what was updated around  
that date?
     -Also, have you built the relative packages (I believe the base  
package) with debug functionality so that it would dump the  
information to the screen.
     -Finally, if you don't mind, would you please list some of the  
commands you use (devoid the password entry) with the chXX command,  
along with some further information about the account that you are  
trying to change the password for, and under what environment you are  
trying to do it from (straight shell, su'ed shell, sudo'ed shell)?
