 * I’ve had a look at the XML-RPC code, and the problem is that `wp_xmlrpc_server::
   login()` doesn’t call the `wp_login` action; I’ll open a ticket on this later
   today or tomorrow.
 * However, it should be logging failed logins properly.

 * Thanks that you care for – till now I have no access found for login-POSTs but
   I think it’s only a question of time…. 🙁
