MDS by default proxies all authentication, including Basic authentication, on your behalf. So if your web server accepts, say, NTLM, MDS will actually begin an NTLM conversation on your behalf. Could this be related to what you are running into?

Also, have you tried turning on verbose HTTP logging in your MDS simulator? Sometimes that gives great information when tracking down stuff like this.
