A couple questions:
1) did you change the nsIHttpAuthenticator interface at all? you can't do that
2) did you add any new interfaces? if not, you don't need to distribute an xpt file, only your component.
3) when you built your component for 1.4, did you use a 1.4 source tree, or did you use a current trunk tree? there have been changes since 1.4 that might make your component not-backwards-compatible. nsIHttpAuthenticator is not a frozen interface, and in fact it did change several days before 1.4 was released, to fix bug 203813 (see http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvslog.cgi?file=mozilla/netwerk/protocol/http/public/nsIHttpAuthenticator.idl).
