User Passwords Are Not Being Re-encrypted During The Database Upgrade From 6.0.1 to 7.0.1 (Doc ID 1536167.1)

Symptoms

The 7.0.1 upgrade is not able to re-encrypt the existing users passwords (error log excerpt shown below), and as such after the upgrade users cannot login with their existing password.
