Oops! it depends on the cache actually!

Re-tested in Chrome 2.0.172.33 and Chrome 3.0.191.3 with a clean cache
(in the mean time, I added a Cache-Control: private on the foo and bar
responses), they behave as expected (ask your credentials when
changing realm).

Tested successfully in IE6 and IE7 too.
