Just tested a clean install of PmWiki 2.2.17 and 2.2.18 against PHP 5.3.3
(but not on Fedora): worked fine with $DefaultPasswords['edit'] and
passwords set with ?action=attr.

Did you test 2.2.18 with an empty config.php?

What if you test a clean 2.2.18 install with a local/config.php file
containing only this (you mention only pages with ?action=attr passwords):

  <?php
  $DefaultPasswords['edit']=crypt('abc')

If you would attach your php.ini, I could probably see if it works on my
system.
