However, you're the second person this month to provide a context-free report about 'su', explaining why you think you have hit a bug. You didn't even show something as basic as 'su --version' information, or details about your platform, or whether you know for a fact that you were using the correct password. I suspect that the problem lies on your end, and not in su. Additionally, as of coreutils 8.18 (and remembering that 8.19 was just released), su is no longer part of coreutils.

However, you're the second person this month to provide a context-free report about 'su', explaining why you think you have hit a bug. You didn't even show something as basic as 'su --version' information, or details about your platform, or whether you know for a fact that you were using the correct password. I suspect that the problem lies on your end, and not in su. Additionally, as of coreutils 8.18 (and remembering that 8.19 was just released), su is no longer part of coreutils. It is now part of util-linux, so this is no longer the place to discuss the issue.
