This could be a MediaWiki installation not using short URLs, in which
case Special:UserLogin and Special:Preferences would both be under the
path - index.php - so the browser might treat them as the same page.
I admit I hadn't considered that, however, the login page uses <input

name="wpOldpass"> (at least on my install) so I'm surprised it's
confusing the two unless it's been specifically told to remember the old
password when a password was changed - in fact it would be interesting
to know if it's populating the correct "old" password or is in fact
using a very old one.
