Same for me, password changing in $ vino-passwd works, in $ vino-preferences it does not.
I'd like to add the following interesting feature: After changing the password in vino-passwd, the change is not reflected in the gnome configuration:
$ gconftool-2 -a /desktop/gnome/remote_access
prompt_enabled = false
authentication_methods = [vnc]
vnc_password = bXVo <-- does not change
enabled = true
