This should be a little better in tomorrow's rawhide. Escape will now answer the password prompt with an empty string (which will trigger the client to ask again if the password isn't the empty string). Even better would be to track that the old plugin was asking for a password and bring the second plugin with the prompt waiting, but that was a little trickier so I'm punting for now.
