sasl works but complains of no user in db

I am running postfix snap919 and cyrus sasl 2.1.19 via /etc/sasldb2 (auxprop)
and I noticed the following:

SASL authentication failure: no user in db - yet it works!

Under debug I indeed see that it works:

smtpd_sasl_authenticate: sasl_method CRAM-MD5
  smtpd_sasl_authenticate: uncoded challenge
  smtpd_sasl_authenticate: decoded response: jbronson
  warning: SASL authentication failure: no user in db
  235 Authentication successful

yet it complains! - I tried outing and redoing sasldb2.

Anyone come across this before, where it works but yet complains??

I compiled sasl using ndbm under solaris. I do not use BDB.
Postfix uses dbm and cdb for my other files...
it does not matter whether I run chrooted or not. I tested that just to be
sure...

thanks for any comments...
