The display is correct. This sentence doesn't not appear while adding a new user
account, but only *after* having added this new account. As a password has
already been defined while creating the user account, this sentence tells you
that "in order to change the user account password, please type it here (leaving
the field blank won't change the password)".

I can only reproduce this bug on 2.18.3, but it has been fixed on 2.20+,
probably due to the templatization of editusers.cgi in bug 119485. The checkin
was done on February 28, 2005.

this bug should have been valid, i unfortunately filed it against the wrong
version, it's kinda hard for me to know which version i'm using given that
people have hacked the version i was testing.
