autocomplete in chrome fills in the forms without user interaction, the user doesn't get the choice, they can only wipe the fields afterwards if they happen to notice.

Yeah, fair, but it would be a better user experience if they didn't even have the option. This directly contradicts Google's position. You're statement is basically:
Comment: User error
Closed: Won't Fix
It's not like leaving it on you are forced to use it. The client still has the choice. By turning it off you are removing choice.
If your Administrator is too stupid to stop messing up and using autocomplete where it's not appropriate, then I think the correct action here is a pink slip.
I generally agree you should try to keep users from shooting themselves in the foot, but not at the cost of hamstringing users who may want to use things differently.
