Automated guest logons: module FAILs after attemp of login with non-existent-user

Host: RHEL 5.5/x64, VBox 3.2.6

Guest: Windows XP. It is part of WORKGROUP. It has Automated-logon module (VBOXGINA).

On host I did:

# VBoxManage controlvm "Windows XP" setcredentials "non-existent-user" "123456" ""

After this I did:

# VBoxManage controlvm "Windows XP" setcredentials "localuser" "123456" ""

NOTE: "localuser" exists on that machine, and it log-ins fine after VM restart.

Expected results:

After failing attempt, the module should accept new credentials and re-try to login.

Actual results:

After this failing attempt, the module refused work. Workaround is ot login/logoff manually or restart VM.
