Oh, I forgot to display the new behavior:

test=> CREATE USER test;
CREATE USER
test=> ALTER USER test RENAME TO test2;
ALTER USER
test=> ALTER USER test2 UNENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'x';
ALTER USER
test=> ALTER USER test2 RENAME TO test4;
ALTER USER
test=> ALTER USER test4 PASSWORD 'x';
ALTER USER
test=> ALTER USER test4 RENAME TO test8;
NOTICE: MD5 password cleared because of user rename
ALTER USER
test=> SELECT * FROM pg_shadow WHERE usename = 'test8';
usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd |
valuntil | useconfig
---------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+--------+----------+-----------

test8 | 100 | f | f | f | |
|
(1 row)
