If I'm thinking of the same thing. the GUI password box is a 
Mythbuntu-specific addition, i.e. isn't in the MythTV-distributed code. 
I don't know why it's not working right with MobaXterm, but as another 
workaround you could try manually shutting down the backend first, then 
running mythtv-setup.real which is the MythTV-distributed version of 
mythtv-setup rather than the Mythbuntu-developed wrapper. That should 
mean the GUI password box doesn't appear. Don't forget to manually start 
the backend when finished.

Cheers,

John
