Replying to myself here, but...:
Obviously, /bin/login is responsible for handling utmp entries even when
PAM is in used, and the upstream maintainer disabled this in the
shadow-4.1.5 release (I could verify that it worked in shadow-4.1.4.3).
The issue seems to be known already, however, and should be fixed soon,
as can be seen at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659957
That's enough for me to know then, I'll just wait for a new release of
"shadow", which will make it work again. I still thought I'd post this
follow-up here, in case anyone else stumbles over this issue. ;-)
Greetings,
Nils
