It is a bug in 3.2.1.  There is a bunch of special case logic in Tomcat 4.0 to
let you see the form login (and error) page, even if it is within the set of
URLs protected by a security constraint.  This is likely to get clarified in the
next round of the 2.3 specification.

One note on your original example, however -- if "/foo" is the context path to
your application, and you wish to protect the entire webapp, you would use "/*"
as the URL pattern inside your security constraint.
