OK, you actually provided a few more interesting informations than before, and they that can help us debugging that. Does this terrible bug only occur when you enter an empty password to authenticate? What do you mean with:

You should not expect those passwords to work, why would they? If you want to work from the live CD, you should set you user password first, and check that you are member of the admin group.

Could you also run
sudo /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m UsersConfig --platform ubuntu-8.04 -v; sudo /usr/sbin/system-tools-backends -nd
before reproducing the procedure you described, from a *fresh boot*. Thanks at lot!
