When I'm prompted for a password while accessing a remote directory

aren't echoed in the minibuffer, but the actual password is echoed
instead).

The good news is that the bug happens predictably. The instructions for
reproducing the bug are below. It works for both emacs-X11 and
emacs-w32, both run with the -q flag. However, the bug disappears if run
with the -Q flag.
I can't reproduce the problem. The fact that it occurs with -q but not
-Q suggests that the problem has something to do with your site
initialization. (-Q forces --no-site-file and --no-site-lisp.) I
suggest that you look in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp to see if something
there could be causing the problem.
