Hi Ken,

Yes, I think you've found a bug.  It also seems to have been fixed in CVS,
where WAAuthenticatedSession overrides #start: instead of start:

WAAuthenticatedSession>>start: aRequest
  self
    basicAuthentication: [:u :p | self authenticateUser: u password: p]
    do: [super start: aRequest]

Sorry bout that.
