OK, I've sent a cutdown of the program, hope that helps.

I've already reported a crashing bug against 4.3.0RC2 so I won't be
trying any CVS snapshots just yet. See what I can do about a sample
script, but it may be a couple days since I'm working in about 6 hrs.

Please provide a short but complete example script which can be used to
reproduce this. Also note that PHP 4.3.0-dev (the latest stable CVS
snapshot) has some fixes regarding session issues so you should try it
out too, from:

At top of login page:

session_start();
session_register("SESSION");

if (! isset($SESSION)) { echo("Dead session!!<br>"); }

From a direct <a href> style link I get "Dead session!!" at the top of
the page. From a redirect via require_login() (see below) it works.

Sure looks like a bug to me.

I would have thought that code with two results depending on the how
the return path is acquired would definitely imply a bug, or am I
missing something obvious here? I have a ton of programming experience
(including proprietary systems similar to but more complex than PHP)
but I'm very new at PHP itself so you may be right.
