Let me get this straight: You have machines in the domain, users doing 
domain logins, and wired 802.1x using the domain credentials. When you 
change a users password, the username/password cached on the client is 
no longer valid, and they fall off the network.

It's hard to see what else could happen; you've changed their password 
and given the machine they're logged onto no way of knowing that. Why 
don't you just let them change their password?

Very likely many resources would continue to be accessible because the 
credential cache includes a valid kerberos TGT but that isn't used for 
802.1x/MS-CHAP - it's the plain username/password.

Whatever happens, the client machine would have to prompt the user for 
their new username/password.

Does this work with IAS? If so, it may be that there's an error code 
which can be put in an MS-CHAP-Error attribute. However, very likely 
Samba would have to generate the error code.

In short, I don't think it's going to work any time soon.
