telepathy-glib and telepathy-qt4 currently work around old CMs by assuming that parameters matching /(^|-)password$/ are passwords, and hence should have the SECRET flag. They shouldn't need to do this; the SECRET flag has existed since telepathy-spec 0.17.2 and telepathy-glib 0.7.5. As a bonus, I also fixed some configure.ac trivia in the referenced branch.
