Yes, this is one of the (many) horrors of PAM. Unfortunately for the
reasons discussed we cannot ever really get rid of this (PAM_AUTHTOK is
Linux-only). On the other hand, it is quite well understood how PAM
must be configured to operate correctly with SSH password
authentication. 

If the thought of this assumption in password auth is too much for you,
you can disable PAM or use keyboard-interactive authentication which
makes no such assumptions.
