I am seeing these too.  Downgrading avoids the noise.

This error comes from libpam itself when called with a NULL argument.
The prototype is:

  int pam_set_item(pam_handle_t *pamh, int item_type, const void *item);

Early in the pam routines there is this check:

    IF_NO_PAMH("pam_set_item", pamh, PAM_SYSTEM_ERR);

Apparently 'pamh' is NULL.  Looks like a usage problem.
