We have lots of tests using multiple backends for authentication, and lots of people are using many passdbs/userdbs in production. I was only aware of iteration being broken with multiple userdbs, since that's not used so much. And we added a test to verify that multiple userdb iteration is actually returning results from both userdbs, so that shouldn't be completely broken either.

So I'd need more details of what exactly goes wrong and how. Is it the authentication or the iteration that is now broken? Logs with auth_debug=yes would likely help. Also:

What do these external conf files contain?
