Well, further investigation shows that typing your password incorrectly
causes this problem. (I'm not sure if there's any other possible causes,
but I'll stick with this one to start with.) This may account for why
you've only seen it once.
Incidentally, this has been reported as bug #10290 in the Debian bug
tracking system, although not the fact that incorrect passwords are
to blame. (They also have a bug to do with shadow passwords (#9431) --
I'm not sure if they're related, since I do have shadow passwords, but
I'm not seeing the behaviour as described in that bug report.)

Just restarting the apfd daemon is enough.
