Server exception for bad password on the "Create new account" page (Virtual) P1

[swalchemist]

1. Click the Register button on the home page.
2. Fill in all fields with valid data, except for the "Confirm password" field, enter a value that does not match what you entered for the password. There is no error shown after tabbing out of the field.
3. Click "Create new account". This causes a server exception (shown below).

I get the same exception if I enter a password in both password fields that is less than 6 characters, or if I leave either password field blank. None of these situations should be causing a server exception.

Server Error in '/' Application.
