We do this if the site specifies autocomplete=off (see bug 362576), or if you have multiple saved passwords for the site. Is that what's happening here?

nope. seems to happen every page with a password stored. never happened befor. on myspace the details only seem to show once the password box is entered. not the username

Side effect of bug 471906?

james: please enable debugging per https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Password_Manager_Debugging and paste a log from when you reproduce the problem with debugging.
