When used in passive voice with Ser the past participle is considered an adjective and shows concordance with the gender of a noun. In general, any time that the past participle is used as an adjective it shows concordance with the noun that it modifies.

It's an adjective in that case, just like the rest of the time the word with the same spelling is an adjective. When it is really used as a past participle, it doesn't change with gender.
On a related note, there are a lot of words that some dictionaries that list words as having two past participles. As lazarus has pointed out, most of them are really two separate words: one for the past participle and one for the adjective--there are only two words with two past participles.
