I can confirm that after clicking the username field, focusing the password
field results in a hidden cursor.

wfm is JS is disabled, bug seen if JS is enabled:

Tabbing order is 'Customer No.' -> Password -> 'sign in' button 
tabbing from 'Customer No.' -> Password gives focus to the password field, but
doesn´t show the cursor.
Shift-Tabbing from  'sign in' button -> Password shows the cursor.

another bug seen:
If I go to another window, and come back, the cursor goes from 'Customer No.' to
the Password input, and is blinking there.

<td align="left"><input type="text" name="CUS" size="9" maxlength="9" value=""
tabindex="1" onkeypress="IEHandleKeyPress()"
onblur="document.Login.PWD.focus();" /></td>

<td align="left"><input type="password" name="PWD" size="9" maxlength="6"
value="" tabindex="2" onkeypress="IEHandleKeyPress()" /></td>

Not a form controls bug (and why leave it assigned to blake?).
