No this is not correct. If the password is set to "", then
QEMU should be denying access when the ',password' flag is
set on the command line.
The behaviour you're seeing is a bug recently introduced in
the QEMU monitor password command handling by QEMU GIT repo
changeset 52c18be9e99dabe295321153fda7fce9f76647ac.
