This is too true, i'm doing the Australian version of this.  Some time ago, when still using my married name, a friend suggested i obtain a passport as he travelled overseas a lot at short notice, and he hoped to take me with him sometimes.  The rules at his work changed and I while I got one (2002) never used it.  Around 2004 went back to my birth name (divorced 2000). 
 
Just before Christmas a girlfriend rings about a great deal to do a cruise.  I agreed, the booking was made in the birth name.  Went to the Post Office filled out the passport application form. It said if your applying for a passport in the same name as your birth certificate all you need is your birth certificate (a full original), a drivers licence and medicare card. I had all three.  This woudl be simple! - nahh
 
I've been back 3 times each time told I have to get another document 1. Passport in Married Name (not mentioned a requirement on the form).  2.  copy of my Divorce papers (not mentioned as a requirement on the form).  3. now a copy of my Marriage Certificate (yep not mentioned on the form).  The Passport took 5 hours to find (we've moved once and renovated in that time).  The Divorce papers were $15 and a 2 week delay.  The Marriage Certificate I don't remember the cost around $20? as i'm still waiting for it to come back! A week so far.  Each time it's a different person at the post office, while pleasant, and sympathetic, each time i'm told something different. 
 
This is separate to the photos taken.  On the first passport I could smile, now no absolutely no and I mean no teeth are to be seen!  So it took 3 lots at $12.95 to have an outcome the Post Office was happy with and that i'd allow others to look (briefly) at.
 
The ship leaves in May.  Hopefully i may have a passport by then.
