I have similar problem with traverse_subpath; I have ZPT, say
http://server/Template, which I call as
http://server/Template/Something and I read traverse_subpath in the
template to render wanted output; when Unauthorized is raised,
CookieCrumbler redirects to http://server/Template.  It seems to use
<offending_object>.absolute_url() instead of REQUEST.URL to redirect.

I think I'll try to use Python script, which will call the ZPT, catch
Unauthorized and redirect manually to
/login/login_form?came_from=<correct_address>.  It's surely a kludge, but
easier to write and maintain through upgrades than patching
CookieCrumbler.
