This one is caused by this patch:

2005-08-16  Lillian Angel  <address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden>>

       * javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicLookAndFeel.java:
       Changed font for PasswordField because textbox was
       being drawn at an awkward height.
       * javax/swing/text/PasswordView.java
       (getPreferredSpan): Implemented
       (modelToView): likewise.
       (viewToModel): partially implemented.

It's not a serious regression, except to the extent that it is masking a 
bug in the sizing of text fields.

Many of those could be fixed relatively easily, since they are just 
values in a lookup table.  But I think it is better to leave the 
failures there until someone, who is familiar with the relevant 
component, has checked that the default value is used wherever it should 
be.  For anyone working on the look-and-feel code, it's worth looking 
through the BasicLookAndFeel.initComponentDefaults test in Mauve since 
it lists all the default values used (or at least available) in Sun's 
implementation.
