Perhaps someone who knows more about the core will chime in. Failing that, maybe this will put you on the scent ...
In db.py there should be a line something like auth=Auth(db), which comes after 'from gluon.tools import ... auth .. So the Auth class is in gluon/tools.py. Auth contains the login methods. Looking at one named 'basic' I see it returns False on login failure. Where the call to 'basic' originates I do not know, but I suspect the caller handles the redirection and flash messaging. You might be able to find the caller by grepping for the text of the failed login message. You have investigated response.flash, right?
