No: the problem was an old libcrypt.so.1 left in /lib/.
This cannot have anything to do with merged-usr: if /lib/ and /usr/lib/ 
on this system were actually merged then it would not be possible to 
have two different libraries around.

The irony is that in your quest to fight usrmerge, which at this point 
has been the default for all new installs and obviously did not cause 
any major troubles, you ranted at lenght about something which does not 
appear to be a real-life problem (people tend to report bugs which break 
PAM and perl...).
