Okay, I couldn't resist looking a bit more into this once I realized
that Tomdroid *was* probably handing the tomdroid://sync URL, even
though the auth process still failed.  When asked to convert the
request token into an access token, U1's response does not contain a
copy of the access token.  If I ignore this error and assume that
access really was granted and that it's just a mistake in the server
response, note sync still ends up failing with a 404 when attempting
to access U1's URL for the user resource.  So either auth really
didn't complete successfully, or something else is going wrong.

I'll report more as I continue digging.
