I can reproduce this issue as follows:
- in expert mode
- run user-setup answering No at "login as root" (sudo setup)
- complete other questions until menu is shown
- run user-setup again and change "login as root" to Yes

At that point you would expect the system to ask for a root password, but 
it does not. Effectively this means the system will still be set up for 
sudo (and probably not fully correct), even though the user changed his 
mind.

Cheers,
