I am curious about this as well. I've been using the Django Registration App (http://code.google.com/p/ django-registration/). I have an almost identical "Hello, {{ user.username }}" in the base template. Once logged in, user.is_authenticated() works fine (shows the user name) on all the registration app views ('r'^password','r'^register') however all of my other app views using user.is_authenticated() shows as False and no user name is displayed.
I haven't spent a much time researching the scenario but a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for posting this bcrem.
