NTLM authentication does not recover from failure

Description
I have automatic NTLM authentication working, via the /usr/bin/ntlm_auth helper (which normally comes with Samba/winbind and works when you log in using your domain credentials, but there's also a test hack at http://david.woodhou.se/ntlm_auth_v2.c which you can compile with appropriate -D options and drop into /usr/bin/ntlm_auth instead for simple testing.)
When Evolution starts up, it asks me for a password.
I type "lyou do not need this" and hit enter. Then everything works perfectly fine.
I'm a little confused by the authentication flow here. It looks like it is correctly hooking the 'authenticate' signal on the soup connection, but then it's asking for a password even before that signal is triggered? Why?
