Solved it!

After some liberal commenting out of code in 
LoginEngine::AuthenticatedUser I narrowed it down to this line:

after_save '@new_password = false'

Commenting out this line and suddenly everything works.
That line evaluates to false, which I guess stops the callback queue maybe?

Anyway, making that evaluate to true and everything works again.
There are a number of ways you could do this, I changed that line to:

after_save :falsify_new_password

and then added the falsify_new_password method under crypt_password 
(around line 130)

def falsify_new_password
   @new_password = false
   true
end
