You know, in thinking about this, when I put it in /etc/pam.d/passwd, it changes the way the "passwd" command runs. So any time anyone tries to change their password, this policy is invoked.

What if you use "adduser" to create users on your system?

Most of the time I use vipw to create a user account (using * as password, then run "passwd <username>" to set the password). So it'll be interesting to see... adduser is a shell script so I'll take a look at it when I've got a bit of time (at work presently).
