This is actually a pretty sticky problem and it goes well beyond Ansel, so I'm
cc:ing the dev list.

Basically, now that we check permissions in Registry::pushApp(), is a permission
is set that doesn't allow guests access to an app, system level scripts - like
the Klutz fetching script, the Whups reminder script, and Ansel's XPPublish
that handles login by itself - will all fail.

We used to get around that by setting a $noauth or $self_contained_auth
variable. Maybe we need to add a second parameter to pushApp() that tells it
not to check permissions?
