Yes:

changepw/REALM@REALM

But this "solution" doesn't seem to match the complaint by kpasswd 
that you are reporting.  I believe the complaint for this solution
would be something like "unknown service" (I know it would say
"unknow" I am not sure about the "service" part).

The only other thing I can think of is, is thre a problem with your
v5srvtab?  Do other services work when passwords are correct?

How are you adding these principals? (Kadmin or kdb5_edit?)
