 Where the reasoning seems to be the will to avoid to show the error on
 normal login page loads. However, seems to me there should be one previous
 relevant change. I've noticed that in WordPress 2.3 (!) this scenario was
 covered and two error messages were displayed when both fields were empty:

 Then, in WordPress 2.5 these 2 messages disappeared. Still have to find
 the relevant change.
