Comment (by bobbingwide):

 I've just finished writing up my analysis of the problem... performed
 before I found this TRAC.
 I developed a more pragmatic solution involving a single space character.

 I have discovered that appending a blank to the field before it’s
 displayed DOES appear to cure the problem.
 To achieve this I hacked wp-admin/user-edit.php changing

 `value="<?php echo esc_attr($profileuser->$name) ?>"`

 to

 `value="<?php echo esc_attr($profileuser->$name) ?> "`

 For details see http://herbmiller.me/2013/06/26/pre-populated-new-
 password-field-is-it-just-me-and-chrome-or-what/
