I don't think it's your Lion image, but I do think it is something in Lion

that Apple has changed (among all the other things). I was having the same
issues with logging into Lion after imaging, until I found a package that
was causing the issue. Now, I don't remember exactly where the package was
touching, but it was touching somewhere in the /private sub directory.
That was all it took to apparently break the LKDC or something else that
was preventing us from logging into the machine through the login window.
Now, we could login if we issued >console and then logged in at the
console, just not from the login window.
Something else I noticed about Lion is that it seems permissions are
strange on some directories. Normally after imaging a new machine for a
user, I can use rsync to transfer the user's home folder across the network
from the old machine tot he new one, and place it right into /Users. Since
Lion I have been unable to do that due to a permissions issue. So, I have
to drop it into /Users/Shared and then move it on the new machine. The
command I would use, from the old machine, is this:
sudo rsync -aEv ./<username> admin at new-machine-ip:/Users
