Oh, I think I figured it out now!

Authenticated users are only allowed to edit userPassword and
shadowLastChange. But not shadowMax!

The old value of shadowMax was 180 for all users, which resulted in no
change to the field. Recently, I changed shadowMax to 99999 on all users
to disable password expiration. This accidentally broke the form.

This explanation sounds so good that I'm not even bothering to verify if
it's correct ;-)
