I looked on Apple's Support Community and this was occurring to numerous people back in November 2012.

One poster discovered that booting into Safe Mode corrected things, this was confirmed by several others.

RomanTS: "have good news. Few minutes ago I tried to login in safe mode in mac os x (simply press Shift during booting) and when mac was booted in "Safe mode" I logged in my account and after rebooted to normal boot. This fixed issues."

I'd give this a shot. Good luck, if it works, please let us know.
