Missing line in kde-fingerprint.pam

I was investigating a KDE bug involving KScreenLocker and turns out it's a downstream problem with a PAM config file, specifically kde-fingerprint.pam. Adding the line

auth       required                    pam_faillock.so      authsucc

to the end of the auth section in that file fixes this problem for me. I don't know much about PAM though so I'm not sure about the security implications of that change.
