Comment:

 I just tried myself, not using arm, only using telnet.  I gave the
 password on the command line, and started Tor with an empty torrc.  The
 command-line I used was:
 {{{
 ./src/or/tor -controlport 9999 -hashedcontrolpassword
 16:6C5A0892C58419E160285695991BEDD067449F845E14735A6FBAB0829B
 }}}

 (The password there is "foo".)

 When I connect with telnet and say 'AUTHENTICATE "foo" ', it succeeds, but
 if I give a different password, it fails.

 My first guess here would be that the torrc you're editing isn't the one
 that your Tor is using, or that something else is overriding your Tor's
 configuration settings.
