If I get time later I'll put 2.2 on dev box (got a 2.2 config round here
somewhere still) and try it for you, heading off to dinner now for a few
hours.

It certainly appears related to passing to system crypt() though ...  If
I regenerate my password using old md5crypt - $1$foobaretc  it still
fails, however, when I change to use the native apache md5 variant -
$apr1$foobaretc   auth succeeds.
