If this happens with the built-in nody-greeter themes as well then you should post an issue here at the greeter repository.

I am short on time at the moment but soon I will see if I can reproduce this on a clean Lubuntu install.

For the time being you can switch to another TTY (ex. by using CTRL + ALT + F6) and switch back to your previous greeter. You should be able to switch back to SDDM (the Lubuntu default) with sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm. If you were using another lightdm greeter previously, you can use the vim or nano editors to revert the greeter-session=nody-greeter change in your lightdm configuration.

I got some time and was able to reproduce the issue on a clean install of Lubuntu. The issue seems to be that the default user session is not set, which causes problems for themes like this one which rely on the default.

Add user-session=Lubuntu to your lightdm configuration and that should do the trick:

[SeatDefaults]
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=nody-greeter
