The form fields are literally named "username" and "password", so this seems something specific to Buttercup.

Yeah, looks like it. Buttercup bug probably.

Buttercup seemingly can't initialise itself on iframes.
This issue is basically saying that https://github.com/buttercup/buttercup-browser-extension/issues/288 (it's a very unclear issue but you can see how 238 was closed talking about iframes and pointed to 288).
Fundamental problem with Buttercup IMO.
