I think you nailed it - if I use that code in an external method. Safari
returns 'NO CREDENTIALS', and other browsers hit the 'else' branch.

That does seem to be related - in fact, I've just found that if I use my ZMI
auth credentials to log into the Plone site, the 'Mappings' tab of the VHM
starts working again... but the external method still returns 'NO CREDENTIALS'
:/

I'm still interested in the "just me?" aspect of this - has anybody else
noticed this in Safari 4?
