We have seen this behavior before in Netscape on multiple 
platforms - I'm pretty sure that this is a client bug where
NS seems to have problems figuring out authentication on 
different ports with the same server. As I recall, you should
be able to reproduce this by trying to access two password-
protected resources on different ports on the same server 
using only Apache (taking Zope totally out of the picture).

I don't know if this is considered a "known bug" by the NS
folks or not - they may have some kind of bug reporting system
online that you could check.
