Comment (by birgire):

 I wonder if the logic for empty username and empty password should be
 moved out of {{{wp_signon()}}}, back to the {{{wp-login.php}}}, for better
 flexibility.

 I checked version 2.3 mentioned by @afercia  and there it seems to be
 handled in {{{wp-login.php}}} with:

 {{{
 if ( $_POST && empty( $user_login ) )
     $errors['user_login'] = __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: The username field
 is empty.');
 if ( $_POST && empty( $user_pass ) )
     $errors['user_pass'] = __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: The password field
 is empty.');

 }}}

 before the {{{login_header(__('Login'));}}}

 See [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.3/wp-login.php#L335
 source].
