Blarghh! Ok, I'm serious that I spent considerable time Googling, poring over the contrib.auth and core files and otherwise staring at my screen to try to fix this on my own before posting. But of course I figure it out two minutes after I wasted the time of anyone who actually read this post.
The problem was that I had USERNAME_FIELD = 'username' REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username','email','first_name'...] in my user class. Once I removed 'username' from the REQUIRED_FIELDS, it worked like a charm. Lesson learned: Read the docs more carefully "REQUIRED_FIELDS must contain all required fields on your User model, but should *not* contain theUSERNAME_FIELD."
