OK, the problem was an outdated version of mechanize packaged with
twill. I tested both the mechanize from its own subversion repository
and the one included in the latest (darcs) version of twill, and only
the latter worked.

Titus, do you plan to update the components used by twill (in
particular, the mechanize library, so that this problem is fixed)?
Thanks.
