  The only problem I can think of, is what the browser might do if we start using plain text password fields.

  I think most password fields are blanked by default - and the most browsers also purposefully forget what users type when this type of input is used. If a load of designers start using a textbox inputs for passwords wouldn't this change?

  Nielsen should have discussed or at least hinted at secure ways to implement this.
