This seems to me that the edit password is set by group:

Group "MyFriends" has an edit password, but group "JoeD" not.
This would my explanation of this odd behaviour.

Greets,

> VERSION:
> PmWiki v2.0 Beta 19
>
> PROBLEM:
> Navigating to non-existing pages freely allow anyone access to the "Edit"

>
> SYNOPSIS:
> A new wiki has a group, "My Friends".  Some of the target pages have a dot
> (or period) in the name (i.e. "John P. Smith").  Targets with the dot in the
> name cause an invalid link to be rendered.  Selecting that link allows
> editing of that page without prompting for passwords.

>     Example of Target Without Dots:
>     * [[My Friends/Joe Blow]]
>
>     Example of Resulting Link Without Dots (user prompted for password
> before edit):
>     http://<server name>/pmwiki.php?n=MyFriends.JoeBlow?action=edit
