I know this is a somewhat borderline, difficult-to-exploit case, but
it seems like buggy behavior on the part of pam_tally. I would expect
either branch of the condition to cause PAM/ssh/whatever just spit out
"account disabled" and drop the connection.
AFAIK, ssh does not have the ability to report a reason for why you
can't log in. This is probably a security feature so you don't leak
info the the hackers.
