I think what is happening is the model is exec'd at the start of the request but if the user is not logged in yet or the session has expired forcing a trip to the login page, the model with get None because auth is not in the session. Once the trip to the login page completes it goes back to the controller that was initially started but I am not sure it re-evaluates the model. Putting the code in the controller pushes in a value after login has completed.
