We experience exactly the same problem. Change password warning is
displayed, but if the user elects to change their password the account gets
locked out. Then it's a trip to the server to unlock the account and have
the user type their new password in the console.

Oops, my mistake.
This occurs only with the domain accounts. The local accounts do not have
the same problems.

Did you verify this appearance with the event logs (local and DCs)?
Is the policy the same on WS and DC?
Where is the answer regarding local vs domain accounts?
