You can type "Admin", and then click elsewhere to dismiss the
autocomplete popup before submitting the form, right?

I just want to make sure I understand the scope of the issue completely.
It seems like maybe the worst symptom of this bug could be addressed by
avoiding having the Tab key auto-complete the saved value if it differs
only in case from what's typed.
