Change Password via Edit Details button not working

After logging into our Archiva instance, I can click on the Edit Details button to change the password. I enter the existing password and the new password (twice) and click the OK button. The dialog remains on screen with no indication of what has happened. After a while, I closed by web browser window and opened a new one - I then attempted to login with the new password, only to find that the password change had not occurred.

After an investigation, I found that the change password dialog was making a POST to "/restServices/redbackServices/userService/updateMe", which was failing with a 500 Internal Server Error. The stack trace follows...
