Don't punch a hole through! You want users who are auto-registered not
to see the bubble correct? Registered users don't see the portal so no
need to punch through the portal.

It's actually very convenient that it opens this bubble if the user is
behind the portal. It makes the user experience better on Windows Vista
and up. And to be fair OS X Lion goes even a step further by opening a
minimal safari browser if the proper WISPr attributes are present (which
our portal support since a couple of versions back).
