Thanks for doing the detective work here. Summary:
----
After a bit of digging, the change does indeed come from OpenSSH:
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/readpass.c.diff?r1=1.52&r2=1.53
Print an \r in front of the password prompt so parts of a password
that was entered too early are likely clobbered by the prompt.
----
To which I can only say: "Ok...?"

Yes, that makes sense to me.
