This bug specifically references a case where the password is created properly. The password that auto generates oui r is put in manually is inaccessible by the boinc manager. This is due to it being owned by root and only viewable by the boinc group. The boinc client is run under the boinc username and group and can thus edit the file. Boinc Manager is run under the local username and thus cannot access the password in the file. Creation if the files password or lack thereof is technically a different bug. The possible solutions that come to mind are 1. Make the file world readable or at least readable to the local user group. 2. Make Boinc Manager an elevated task much like the package manager apps. I'm sure there are other solutions but I am not a programmer or packager.
