Comment (by afercia):

 Yep, seems Chrome is a bit buggy here, see for example:
 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=378419

 It's still an issue after a failed login attempt: Chrome will display the
 password field filled with "dots" while it's actually empty.

 By the way, wondering why `wp_attempt_focus()` should try to empty the
 fields in the first place. Wouldn't be enough to focus and select them?
