After dwelling on this a bit... I realize that this is an incorrect  
statement.  A user can be preauthenticated at the IMAP level  
(PREAUTH), in which case neither username nor password is needed.

But that being said, that's still not going to fix this ticket because  
it will simply result in authentication errors instead of an empty  
password error.
