Comment:

 I looked into this a bit more and it seems the code that prevents
 'wp_login_failed' was added intentionally.
 [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/commit/3f22da5123f214ddf4ca9fc73b99cdcc5474269e]

 Prior to that commit it did trigger on all failures. I asked Ryan about it
 and he said he thought it was to differentiate between authentication
 errors and user input errors.

 I think by passing in the error code we are still covering that however
 there is the concern that it is a change in behavior. It was also a change
 in behavior when that commit was made.
