Event Manager: 'Mail account updated' returns the new password in the wrong variable

With the help of http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...inistrator-guide/index.htm?fileName=67897.htm I'm trying to use 'Mail account created', 'Mail account updated' and 'Mail account deleted' to build a unified authentication interface for all the email accounts scattered across various Plesk servers. When testing the handling of various variables for these events I found the following issue:
A customer can create an email account with no password. In this case, if the customer updates that account by entering a password for it, on 'Mail Account Updated' the password is returned in OLD_PASSWORD variable and NEW_PASSWORD is blank. I would expect it to be the other way around, OLD_PASSWORD should be empty and NEW_PASSWORD should contain the actual password.
Is the behaviour expected or it's a genuine bug?
