That's not a bug it's a deliberate security measure that they do not push stored credentials from desktop. Plus you also have the scenario where users will use personal credentials while developing on desktop whereas on the server the admin might setup an account for the refresh with a non-expiring password.

 

The server also disables the option to configure a scheduled refresh until any data sources that require credentials have them configured so I don't think this is the issue here.
