MySQL Workbench 6.1 for MacOS X has following issues with auth_pam_compat:

1. by default cleartext plugin is not enabled, test connection fails with error "Authentication plugin 'mysql_clear_password' cannot be loaded: plugin not enabled"

2. in order to enable cleartext plugin I started workbench as following:
> LIBMYSQL_ENABLE_CLEARTEXT_PLUGIN=1 /Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/MySQLWorkbench

3. after 2 done test connection works, but real connection still doesn't. Server-side debugging shows that for test connection workbench sent correct password, while for real connection password sent is empty.

So far it looks like Workbench cannot use cleartext plugin correctly.
