Yup this is due to this (line 2148):

  
https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/blob/ffc0d133547f2d86f5c0493bd519520617be2acf/lisp/ess-inf.el#L2148

This should probably be handled in a comint filter where we'd lookup
for `comint-password-prompt-regexp`. But it's a complicated regexp
so it could cause performance issues on long outputs.

Another idea: add such filter but temporarily, whenever comint
detects a password prompt.
