Dumping out the traces tty side the tty code appears to be working correctly. The userspace on the other hand appears broken and to only work by chance with the old code.
For one it wants for new output to appear before checking for "Password:" and in doing so consumes any partial output it receives without checking. I suspect it should be doing line += more
One for the KDE people as its not the kind of thing we can fudge back kernel side if my diagnosis is right.
