It is more easily reproduced by typing
M-: (read-passwd "Try it: ") RET
and typing some characters from the numeric keypad.
The problem seems to be that read-passwd does its own event processing,
and it doesn't recognize key translations such as kp-1 -> 1, etc.
(Type C-h k followed by 1 on the numeric keypad to see what I mean.)
(I see this with the x11 window system, not with nextstep, where that
translation happens at the OS level. Quite possibly, you don't see it
on windows either.)
More of a misfeature than a bug perhaps, but it would be worth fixing
if it's not too much trouble.
