That sounds different from my case. In openQA (and the one time I saw it 
live), the keystrokes do not appear to have any effect - no dots are 
echoed at all, and hitting enter does not submit the passphrase.

I have no idea where to send emails reporting kernel bugs. It's a very 
difficult world to penetrate if you're not already in it. A proper bug 
tracker would make things much easier.
