I suspect (but haven't checked) in some window managers that PAM
authentication occurs in a separate process (like the new feature in
sshd).
Hence any changes PAM modules make to the current process will be
discarded when the authentication process exits.
If this is the case, its not really a bug, more just another limitation
in PAM.
