Davis, what version of Emacs is this? Oops! Aheh. Here we go: `comint-watch-for-password-prompt' doesn't try to come up with a pretty prompt in GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit) of Mon Feb 19 2001 on steel , and so the bug does not manifest there. However, both GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-windows98.2222) of 2001-10-22 on buffy and GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-04-29 on quattro generate that prompt and so do experience the bug. Of course, we now have another (trivial) bug: comint.el's maintainer list...
