Comment (by magicroundabout):

 So...just a quick instant update on this.

 I did try to create a patch for this that involved adding the `paste`
 event handler. This fixed the issue on the iPad, but this got complicated
 because back in Chrome on my laptop, the event was firing TWICE: once for
 `paste` and once for `keyup`, and it was getting pretty confusing.

 I took a look at #31226 which seemed to fix this for the old password
 strength meter in 4.1. In that ticket @helen mentioned the `setTimeout`
 needed to catch the value updating from the `paste` event, but it was
 ultimately fixed by @dipesh.kakadiya  changing the event handler from
 `keyup` to `input propertychange`. I wonder if there's any reason we've
 reverted from that back to `keyup`?
