But why does term-mode want to use a different char?
What's so different about term-mode?

I don't understand what change to term-send-invisble you're thinking of.

But your vision is not poor only in term-mode, right?
So, what you're really saying here is that you'd like to change
read-passwd to use ?* instead of ?., isn't it? If so, I have nothing
against it, but it's a separate concern from that of bug#30190 and it
should apply to all uses of read-passwd.
