Error subscribing authorised feed

Trying to subscribe a new RSS URL under HTTP basic auth fails (see attached image) and doesn't let you configure the feed.

Curiously, subscribing an nonexistent URL (e.g.: http://this.is.a.complete.fake/) allows you to continue configuring the feed and change it to the correct URL and set authentication, so the above can be workarounded.

To improve usability new feeds returning 401 errors on first should be allowed to be configured, like the fake ones.
