Here, I get a different result.  The requester asks for authentication
but does not specify root password.  In fact, using the root password
fails (with the exact same details as Roger described), I *must* use the
user password.

Strange.

Admittedly, I'm on testing, but even when I was using testing before
Debian 12 (Bookworm) was released, I had the same results.  That is, I
*had* to enter the user password.
