No, even that should not happen unless the local administrator explicitly 
opted to enforce some such policy (and the exact policy to enforce is the 
administrator's choice, it is likely to differ significantly from GNOME's 
hardcoded policy).

Enforcing password strength rules on all users of the entire distribution, 
no matter what their use cases are, is just not a reasonable thing to do. As 
pointed out by Chris Murphy, even the proprietary operating systems don't do 
that.
