password protection on power up, also occurs in GapiDraw

One of my customers was using password protection on their PPC, so every time they turned their PPC on the password protection screen would appear. This password protection can be found in Settings.
When running SpaceTime (a fullscreen program using the GAPI) if they powered off the device and then powered the device on, everything looks fine, but the password protection screen stays active and steals all the button and stylus input from my program. It will also appear for a couple frames if one of the number buttons, that are used to enter a password, are hit.
Out of curiosity, I also downloaded GapiDraw, compiled the minimal example and sure enough the same problem occurs.
Is this fixable?
