I disagree here because that's not actually the bug: it's documented
that storing your password in a (bookmarked) URL is possible but
insecure, but the actual behaviour is way more insecure: the password is
then kept in the URL so every link you click; your password ends up in
other people's referer logs.

That has been addressed upstream in the given patch. It's considered
here (BSP) to be significantly more than a minor issue.
