Did you set "Enable fine-grained password policy" under the 
Configuration tab -> Data node -> Passwords tab?  Because the console 
will allow you to configure the fine grained password policy under the 
Directory tab even if this is not set, but it will not take effect.

Did you try ldapmodify from the command line to see if the problem is 
with FDS or with PAM?  e.g.
ldapmodify -D "uid=user,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com" -w currentpassword
dn: uid=user,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: passwordinhistory
