Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 I confirmed the use of user-profile.js on the password reset screen, which
 is served via the same PHP page as login with a URL `domain/wp-
 login.php?action=rp`. As you point out, that screen prefills the password
 (on the PHP side), I think the JS here mostly activates the password meter
 and handles the 'weak password' checkbox and disabling the submit button
 when required.

 In my testing, I was able to remove the pre-setting of the password that
 was causing the error. This had no effect on the editing/setting passwords
 on the user profile screen, or after resetting WordPress (`wp db reset`)
 on the New Site setup screen (where you also create a user).

 Patch incoming.
