OK, I tracked it down. The normal call, form=auth(), is dynamic (see Auth.__call__), and returns the form that's appropriate to the request URL. Auth.register() does a redirect to profile if the user is logged in. We don't see that with curl, because curl isn't providing the cookie that would connect us to the login session. Short answer: if you're going to use Auth, use it in the normal way; don't try to call the individual form generators. They have too many side effects to be used outside their standard context.
