Comment (by wnorris):

 new patch to handle error displayed on initial wp-login.php load.  We let
 wp_authenticate_username_password do it's normal thing, returning an error
 if username and password are empty.  Then in wp_signon (which is only ever
 called fro wp-login.php), we check for those errors, and wipe them out if
 present.  Solves the same problem, but puts the logic where it really
 should be... in wp_signon().
