I get the same behavior. For example:

SQL> connect internal
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

SQL> connect internal/oracle
Connected.

I have to believe that this is a bug. BTW, I have a password file, so even Server Manager requires a password.

Here's another oddity that I noticed while experimenting with this. I set remote_login_passwordfile=3Dnone, deleted my password file, and then I stopped and restarted my database service from the control panel. At that point I should have been able to connect internal without a password. Instead, both SQL*Plus and Server Manager prompted me for a password. Then they both rejected whatever password I typed in. The end result was that I was forced to reinstate my password file. That doesn't seem like proper behavior, and at the moment I'm at a loss to explain it.
