I have created a branch now with three changes:

A new Horde_Registry_Application API authReauthenticate
A change in Passwd to call this for all apps
A handler for the callback in imp.

The latter is flawed. As in my original, rejected attempt, imp
_authenticated() will get called before authReauthenticate can replace
the imap object. _authenticated() tries to access the old invalid IMAP
connection and throws an exception, ultimately leading to a fatal "IMP
NOT ACTIVATED".
