That's basically a race condition, where systemd does not treat the removal of
an ask-password entry as a event which bumps the timestamp of the last action.
This can be added. However, an alternative implementation is being discussed on
the mailing list
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024717.html)
so things are likely to change.
