I was experiencing this exact same bug as well. Based on information I
read in the corresponding RedHat report
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879773) I was able to get
this to work by removing all the Evolution configuration directories
(which did have some prior attempts at configuration from a long time
ago) and killing and restarting Evolution:
[Fri Aug 8 10:02:25 EDT 2014] > mike at ossy in ~
↪ rm -rf .config/evolution/ .cache/evolution/ .local/share/evolution/
[Fri Aug 8 10:02:40 EDT 2014] > mike at ossy in ~
↪ pkill evolution
I went through the account wizard again, and after adding the password
prompt showed up and I was able to type the password and add the
account.
