I should have mentioned... you can check if this is the case by running:

"bzr nick NEW_NICK"

If setting an explicit nickname causes the following commit to not
prompt you for your password, then that is, indeed, the cause.

I don't know if Martin changed the code in that area, since it caused
some problems with bzr-svn. He said he would look into it, but I didn't
see a specific commit from him in regards to it.
