Had the same issue and the info below allowed me to resolve the issue, i.e. is_valid() is now returning True on a valid username/password combination. Seemed to me that the key was setting the test cookie and assigning the POST data into the 'data' variable. The former makes sense to me. The latter does not. I wonder if anyone out there can explain why.
