AuthenticationForm ignores setting "username" field's label to an empty string

[xor-xor]

When I inherit "django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm" and set the "username" field's label to an empty string:

username = forms.CharField(label='')

...it is ignored and the "Username:" label is rendered in HTML output.

Trying the same thing with "password" field works as expected (i.e. label is not rendered), so this behaviour is inconsistent.

I think it is related to the following if statement in django/contrib/auth/forms.py file:

if self.fields['username'].label is None:
    self.fields['username'].label = capfirst(self.username_field.verbose_name)
