FYI - Turns out this isn't a webkit bug, but I'm willing to bet Safari fails
for the same reason Chromium fails (more affected URLs include livejournal.com,
websms.rogers.page.ca, any vBulletin based web form (already listed below), and
others found at http://crbug.com/28910).  The sites install onsubmit handlers
to swap out passwords with hashes, so by the time the FrameLoader is told to
submit the form, the value of the password input is empty (confirmed by
observing a callback from Javascript clear the variable just before submitForm
in the affected cases, and no such callback occurs in normal cases).  Other
sites just r handle the POST using XHR (which doesn't seem to go through the
same code path) and return false; in onsubmit.

I guess this is resolved from a webkit perspective.
