that would be really surprising. I am most inclined to think that the
password change is done via a (buggy) web interface or a buggy script.
or maybe it is a PEBCAK?

so Tom needs to

- reproduce the problem (to confirm the customer claim or to detect the
PEBCAK)

- describe how exactly the password is changed (what programs are involved)

- describe what OS and software is being used.
