Comment (by kburkhardt):

 I can confirm that I also have this exact problem with an internal
 authentication plugin.

 Users are logged in as expected with the appropriate roles, but are no
 longer able to make changes.  It's been things like changing user roles,
 enabling plugins and disabling plugins.  I've been pouring through the
 code looking for what has been changed without much luck so far.

 The core of the code that has been working until now is below:  (uid is an
 internal number we have added to usermeta)
 {{{
     $user = get_user_by('uid', $uidHeader);
     wp_set_current_user( $user->ID );
     wp_set_auth_cookie( $user->ID , 1);
 }}}

 There seems to be something new required in the mix now that I have been
 unable to find documentation for.
