FWIW, we made this change to our login page over a year ago, and haven't 
heard any negative side effects; mostly, people were thrilled they no 
longer had issues with iPads and Androids.

A little after that, we also added:
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />

This helped our customized login page. I'm not sure if it will improve 
the usability of the default/sample login page, though, as it is much 
wider than our login page is.

Hope this helps,
