I can see this happening for two reasons. Either the Realm returned in the
header matches a Realm you've already authenticated in, so the browser is
sending that username and passwd pair. Or a Location is present in the
header, which points back to the same document, which would be very odd.
Location is not allowed with a 401. So perhaps it's just this particular
browser which honors it.
Just some wild ideas.
