My instances do the same thing. It may be a good idea for the developers to
just remove the line 'Send mail with password'. I don't think that Plone can
send an assigned password. It wouldn't be a good security practice, so
that's actually a good thing.
Either way, just don't check off the send mail, and the password you assign
will work.
I just sent this issue in to the tracker and marked it as trivial.
Ticket #7215 (new enhancement)
