I did some research on this and discovered that this issue exists on all current 5.x centos (and I'm assuming rhel) releases.

Here's my research results:
http://gist.github.com/526513

After a little digging, I found that this is a know bug with rhel and that it was recently fixed. It appears as though the updated passwd rpm is now available for rhel, but not yet for centos.
