This is indeed a bug, and I've reproduced it with grub from bzr trunk
as well. It's too late for me to try to look at the cause tonight but
1: Please file a bug report about this and 2: If the password
contained in your grub.cfg is at all critical, it's now known to the
world so you should change it. I'm sorry I didn't warn you about that
possibility when I asked you to post your grub.cfg. You should also
know that you do *not* need to store your grub passwords in plain
text: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Security

Also, setting GRUB_DEFAULT=0 *is* the correct way to have grub default
to the newest kernel.
