It looks like password manager is remembering a changed password even if you have selected not to.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Login to gmail and opt to remember password
2. Logout and log back in to make sure password manager has remembered the passwd
3. Go into the account settings and change your password
4. Opt not to change the password when the password manager dialog comes up
5. Logout
6. Try to login with the prefilled credentials. It should fail.
7. Enter the correct credentials (unchecking the "remember me" box)
8. Logout
9. Login with the existing prefilled data

Expected: Login should fail due to me opting not to change my password in step 4.

Actual: Somehow password manager has ignored my command and changed the new password anyway.

This happened in Fx3rc build1 on Vista and latest Mac trunk.

Step 7 is the key here, when you log in this way password manager assumes since you explicitly entered a different password, you meant to change the stored password. So, working as designed, but duping to 394611 because we're thinking of changing that.
