JOSM doesn't get the hint about 401 Unauthorized

[avar]

Here's a JOSM exception / a tcpflow dump of JOSM trying to upload to the API with the wrong password set in the preferences. It tries to carry on with the upload even though the server sends a 401 error and pops up a dialog with "org.openstreetmap.josm.io.OsmTransferCancelledException".

As far as I can tell JOSM now reacts to the 401 hints and pops up the "please enter auth data" plugin. Please reopen if you can still reproduce.
