There are all kinds of reasons why the current behavior is "logical",
but indeed, it's not desirable. Could someone install the obvious patch
in read-passwd to emit a warning (right after the prompt, so the user
will necessarily see it)?
If someone is motivated, I would even accept a patch that turns echo off
temporarily.
