I noticed something like this as well, though I am not sure it is the same bug. When I use sudo to run a command and enter one or more newline characters before typing in my password the characters are shown. This happens both in lxterminal and on a tty. To reproduce this behavior run sudo -k with any command. A few seconds later, the command proceeds normally. If I manage to type in my password before sudo proceeds, it is evaluated as correct.
