Bug already there.

As a sidenote, (in SMv1.0a at least) I noticed a very odd behaviour regarding
the JS Console:

This warning, like some others (in other bugs) will only show up if I press
Enter while focus is in a "field";
if I use the Next button (with keyboard/mouse), the JS.C. remains empty/unchanged.

(This could explain why I did not notice this kind of bugs before today... :-<)

Wow, that is odd...

The technique used in checkForEmail() appears to quash this warning too.

Warning: reference to undefined property pageData.newsserver

Line: 124

The reason that I gathered is the following. (Please correct me if
I'm wrong.)

When selecting Newsgroup account and after the identity entry page,
it goes to the Newsgroup server entry page.  When this page is 
displayed:

mailnews\base\prefs\content\AccountWizard.xul: line 241
241               onpageshow="return serverPageInit();"

It calls serverPageInit(); 
(from mailnews\base\prefs\content\aw-server.js)

115 function serverPageInit() {
116  gOnMailServersPage = (document.documentElement.currentPage.id == "serverpage");
117  gOnNewsServerPage = (document.documentElement.currentPage.id == "newsserver");
118  if (gOnNewsServerPage)
119  {
120    var newsServer = document.getElementById("newsServer");
121    var pageData = parent.GetPageData();
122    try 
123    {
124      newsServer.value = pageData.newsserver.hostname.value;
125    }
126    catch (ex){}
127  }

pageData.newsserver is not defined at line 121 because it was
never given a chance to be set.  Perhaps there is a case in
which it is set; but I haven't found it yet.

Look for AccountDataToPageData()
