I've tracked things down further to the issue being in the
_sasl_auxprop_lookup function in auxprop.c.

Specifically in this code block:

    if(_sasl_getcallback(sparams->utils->conn,
                         SASL_CB_GETOPT,
                         (sasl_callback_ft *)&getopt,
                         &context) == SASL_OK) {
        ret = getopt(context, NULL, "auxprop_plugin", &plist, NULL);
        if(ret != SASL_OK) plist = NULL;
    }

SASL_OK is returned by _sasl_getcallback.  However, the next line:
ret = getopt(context, NULL, "auxprop_plugin", &plist, NULL);

returns -1 (SASL_FAIL), which causes plist to be set to NULL, and then the
rest of the function drops through with SASL_NOMECH set in the "result"
variable.

What can I do to determine why the call to getopt is failing?
