 Hi @HamishAhern

 Welcome to the trac! With a fresh WP installation i can confirm that it's
 not a bug or auto triggering issue! I think any of your plugin / theme is
 updating the user_pass or something.

 As @SergeyBiryukov already said...

 **It looks like if the password is not intended to be changed, it should
 not be passed to wp_update_user() at all.**
