This is technically correct behaviour, so I won't bother explaining it,
except to say that the solution to the problem is to change something.
My first suggestion would be to change from:

DISPLAY=:0 x0rfbserver

to

x0rfbserver :0

The only problem with this is that perhaps your password problem will
re-emerge. Don't know what happens if you do

DISPLAY=:0 x0rfbserver :0

It probably shouldn't be correct in general, but might be good enough
for your specific application.
