Cookie-based auth schemes "hide" the authenticated user from the
publisher.  Here is the patch, for instance, which modified the
CookieCrumbler product (an auth helper) to force the publisher to
recognize the cookie-based user:


http://cvs.zope.org/CMF/CMFCore/Attic/CookieCrumbler.py.diff?r1=1.18.10.5&r2=1.18.10.5.2.1

XUF likely needs a similar patch (look at the '_setAuthHeader' method
added by the patch for details).
