Ahhh... That's expected then. The wizard can't override the password you set via u-d-f. Arguably it should show a nice UI warning to that effect, so people know what's up. Otherwise we keep getting reports like this.

I'm worried that for someone it might result in the opposite, rendering the phone inaccessible because you can't type your passphrase with a pin-pad. We either need to improve robustness of the setting (ideally storing the lick type next to the password itself in PAM somehow?) or allow switching to a full keyboard entry in the passcode lockscreen.
