First off, your the first person (I think) that has come forward with
the information that they are using any version of NES higher than 2.0,
which is what the nscgiauth plugin was written for.  As I have heard
(but don't know) there were some significant changes between the 2.0 and
higher versions of the NSAPI.  So, that you got it to work at all is
pretty good.

This is unreported behavior, which leads me to think that nscgiauth
needs a little tweaking.  As nscgiauth is unsuported you will have to
experiment with this a little.

If your looking to showcase this and you can't spend any time working on
nscgiauth, I would suggest using either Apache, ZServer, ZopeHTTPServer,
or IIS, all of which Zope runs out of the box with.
