How very inconsistent and obnoxious.
It's best to think of -p as never taking an argument, always asking interactively. Many operating systems will let a processes access the command line parameters of another process, making it possible to get the password in the clear if you pass it to a program this way. It's nice to know that you can pass it this way if absolutely necessary, but I try not to use it.
