Can you log in when you go directly to the login_form?
I would expect, you cannot.

One way to analyse the problem is to temporarily disable cookie
authentication (by emptiing the "login_form" field in the CookieCrumber),
protect "logged_in" and then visit it.
You should get a browser login dialog. Enter the same Username and
Password as formerly in the "login_form".
When you commit the dialog, it should come back immediately again.
Cancel it. You should see the reason, why the authentication failed.

When it does not help, I would use a TCPLogger between the browser
and Zope to analyse their conversation. One TCPLogger is Shane's
"tcpwatch".
