Indeed, but that's because en.wiki is your home wiki, where you have the
longest-standing account with the highest permissions and the most productive
edits.  If you go to *another* wiki and try the same process, as the bug
suggests, it doesn't work, because the password you use *does* have to match
your *home wiki* password.  So the only people who could take advantage of this
situation are people who already own a *more* 'respectable' account with the
*same name* as the target account on another wikimedia wiki.  Sounds fairly
implausible to me.
