Okay, getting a lot of conlicting views on this so: 

LDAP has a realm paramter in it's config and I will add the same to the other
drivers. Which will 'unbreak' the realms handling in the drivers.

The hook with the what the user has entered and convert it to what the backend
wants. If this means you ignore that the user entered and return the first bit
of Auth::getAuth() that's fine just make sure you haven't set allow guests to true.

One the backend gets this username it will append the realm to it, if it's been
specified, and continue to update the backend.

How does that work for you guys?

Just so you have an idea where i'm going with password.. I'm making it a more
generic password change application, so you can change password that aren't
currently being used to login to horde.
