That was indeed the problem!  Thanks for finding it.

Note that the documentation for the OnlineAccountClient API [1] 
describes service-type as 'The type of service (E.g. "sharing")', while 
the developer guide [2] uses the RDN for the service type in the XML 
file.  I don't know which is correct, but these two should be 
harmonized.

The image 5 emulator was the one on which I spent hours of cargo-cult 
programming getting this to work in the first place.  (This was before 
the developer guide was released.)  So it's possible that I had 
accidentally made these two values the same at one point.  Would they 
be sticky after login succeeded once?

I'm willing to leave this as an unsolved mystery, but if you think it's 
interesting, let me know and I can dig deeper.

Thanks again,
Robert
