I think it has one big advantage: if you types something and then want to hide it you can use that. Think: you type your passphrase, you notice somebody looks over your shoulder, you press TAB and he's left in the dark. An since this is strictly one-way even he can even go and abduct you while you are typing, but he won't be able to make the asterisks visible again.
