This was fixed when password policies were implemented -- bug 0000050 . Any password change should now go through User->SetPassword(). The webconfig user pages and scripts now follow this process.

Previously, the password could also get updated via User->Update() and User->Add() methods in the API. We're keeping these capabilities in version 5.x to avoid any surprises for those out there using the API. However, the capabilities will be completely removed in 6.0.

Oh... and the User Guide has been updated too.
