Comment:

 Patch attached and I'm reclassifying this as a defect in the UI flow.

 Currently, the form doesn't show under two circumstances: 1) After you
 request the first e-mail, and 2) after you click the link in that e-mail,
 which triggers the second e-mail with your new random password. This patch
 removes both circumstances.

 In the second case, the user is presented only with "Check your e-mail for
 your new password." It makes sense that a user might switch to their
 email, copy the password, and return to the form (wp-
 login.php?checkemail=newpass) in their browser. (Instead of clicking the
 link.) So the form should definitely show in this instance.

 In the first case (wp-login.php?checkemail=confirm), the user is presented
 with "Check your e-mail for the confirmation link" but should still be
 presented with the form. Though they said they have forgotten their
 password, their current password still works, and they could still log in.
 So no harm in showing the form there either.
