Worse, this creates a bad habit. What if the UI changes and now it's the username that pops up first, not a password box?

So it's a hard-to-discover feature, and a misfeature unless you elect to keep this behavior forever.

Because this only happens on the lock screen when there's no user to be entered/selected. There's no slide-up on the initial login.
