I've never tried observing a password element. Have you tried
building a small proof-of-concept page (with an already existing pw
element) to test that it can be done, and isn't a browser restriction?

Why are you firing an Ajax.Updater on page load, rather than just
loading the correct content the first time? Seems a bit odd.

That's a reasonable guess, given the circumstances. Have you tried
putting the subsequent Event.observe in a setTimeout? e.x.
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
var checkAuth = new Ajax.Updater('uaDiv', '/auth/check', { method:
'get', asynchronous: false });
setTimeout(function() {Event.observe('password', 'keypress',
'catchEnterKey');}, 10);
});
