change password error on eval site

The first time I try to change a password it gives me the errors:

You must enter a value as your current password. (for Current Password)
You must enter a value as your new password. (for New Password)
You must enter a value for your new password confirmation. (New Password Confirmation)

The second time I enter in the exact information it works perfectly.

Yes, I know my password. As I change my password back and forth I can repeat this behavior (all-out errors on first post followed by working on the second one) each time.

FYI, it was my BOSS (who will be writing the check) who found this error, which is why I listed it as major, as he was very happy with the confluence up until this point. At this point it will be a hard sell unless I can convince him that these types of bugs get fixed very quickly.
