Seems like some misused form framework. They were potentially striving for Facebook-like functionality ("Hi Tom, welcome back") and got it wrong.

Tom never used Facebook. He preferred a different social networking platform.

I reported a similar issue in GitLab a while back where an incorrect password, entered in the login form, was echoed back to the user in the registration form! IIRC the registration form was picking up on the validation failure in the login form and filling itself in with the submitted form details.

I hope we fixed that.

Yes, I reported it as https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14552 (confidential so you need permission to see) and it was fixed in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/3691

Cool, I removed the confidentiality from the issue. Thanks for reporting this.
