in debug mode, does FreeRADIUS happily reject the client request but
when run as a normal process, it throws the request towards other
Auth mechanisms?

I'm not sure about *that* aspect of it. I've never seen it. But rejects are delayed in the default config. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
