The bug is that a password can't be changed after it expires or when it's reset by an admin with the requirement to change it at logon. This is specific to the Server 2025 preview. See the first paragraph in my original post. I'm posting here mainly to report it as a bug.

On a PC or server connected to the network (does not have to be in that AD, but DNS should be pointing to that DC): Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL -> Change Password. In the topmost field, you can enter ANY account, but you should use the testuser@testdomain.local format and not NETBIOS, and then enter the old and new password.
If that was not working as well, like in Matt K's case, it could be a bug.
