RE: CakePHP 2.0 Auth not hashing password

I can't really think of a good reason to do that.  If you want to change you can verify the hash matches prior to changing for (old password verification).  I can't think of a situation where you would bring the hashed value back in a field and display it to the browser....unless I am missing your statement I think this is a good design how it is now in 2.0.

Yup, I get that. I was merely raising the possibility of an already hashed password getting hashed again. What's the advice for telling whether or not a password has already been hashed?

This is mentioned in the migration guide, Auth doesnt auto hash your passwords anymore, you need to handle that manually in 2.0 . It was very confusing for new users to have the passwords auto hashed.
