I found the problem. I think someone broke backward compatibility. A
new field was added to auth_user after I started the project. I think
the field was added to improve the security of the reset password
process so that's a good thing. Why this broken compatibility wasn't
disclosed and explained is a mystery. I discovered it by creating a
new project with the latest code and comparing the auth_user table to
what I had.
Anyway, for anyone experiencing this issue you need to add a field to
auth_user:
Field('reset_password_key', length=512, default='', writable=False,
readable=False)

As you suspect, the error is caused by the missing arguments **b, but
it is hard to tell why without seeing your code.

I snipped a lot of the intermediate stuff out but basically I try to
use the lost_password link on the login page and get the following
traceback. Looking at the sql statement it appears that the parameters
for SET are missing.
from below: Function argument list: (*a=('UPDATE auth_user SET WHERE
auth_user.id=806;',), **b={})
I have a custom auth_user table in that I added some fields.
Other data: I can set a new password by using change_password after
logging in.
Let me know what kind of additional information might help.
Pieces of the traceback information.
