This is somewhat intentional, see T22233. I wouldn't be opposed to returning a distinct error code (e.g. "ResetPass"), but this should remain an error condition.

The point behind T22233 is that the API is not some user facing entry point but it's no longer true with the app or maybe more in the future.

Anomie claimed this task.

This is resolved now with the introduction of AuthManager, and specifically API action=clientlogin which uses the same backend code that the new SpecialUserLogin uses to do authentication.

There's no timeframe for when this will be available on WMF wikis, though, beyond "soon". The next step will be to resolve T110282, then a gradual deploy while watching for things to break.
