IMHO, I think that should be considered a bug in Kobo. It shouldn't matter if the password is hidden or revealed!
Sounds pretty strange.
If I recall people have problems with hidden ssid. Hidden pass should have
nothing with connection. Device calls wpa_supplicant or alike. To hide pass
is on the layer that makes life easy for user without keyboard. What might
be is that connecting to wireless router takes root account and showing
password another one. Actually, I'm puzzled. Interesting, indeed.
