Further testing:
1) Primary monitor
For fun I tested to make the secondary monitor the primary one (as described in
BugID 472542). There was no change, the secondary monitor still showed the
password being typed while the laptop monitor showed the login screen.

2) Standby display
I noticed that when you do not log in, after about a minute or so the screen
enters some kind of screensaver mode (login field and buttons vanish,
background is unblurred). If you are on the second screen with your mouse and
move it around, only the secondary screen shows the login screen.
As said: I have discovered this bug on a beamer. It was very unsettling that my
laptop screen stayed in the 'standby' mode and didn't want to show any login
screen (at the time I didn't know what effect this would have during a
presentation or other scenarios with a second screen). Today I saw that if the
mouse is moved the the laptop screen, it 'wakes up' to (show the login field),
but the password is only typed on the secondary monitor.
