Weird, the same code path is followed when all devices sync, even if  
they issue a GETITEMESTIMATE request first, as that calls the same  
backend code. Not sure what the heck is going on here, but I'll keep  
thinking about it.

Not that I know of. Horde_Auth::getCredential('password') should  
return the password that was set when the user authenticated. The  
password is stored in the session when Horde_Auth#authenticate is  
called, and is returned when Horde_Auth#getCredential is called. Not  
sure where to go from here. If you end up getting a wireshark trace,  
guess it's worth looking at.
