Somebody kindly fixed it. So far, fr: has worked fine since then.
It's funny how misleading your post to Ben76210 was. However, what Orlodrim mentioned is that Salebot undid your edit (and he reverted that). Salebot couldn't have produced the behavior you saw. You are now reporting that "fr: stopped working for awhile" whereas on your previous messages the problem was at de, and fr worked. (Confused when thinking that you found an explanation?)
No idea. What I wrote in the first message was: # For example, after login to english, the french link seems to accept the # credentials (most of the time), while the german link *never* accepts the # credentials.
At that point, I was remembering/thinking that fr: had not worked at least some of the time. But it's been no problem since.
I have find now another candidate. There's indeed no 'William Allen Simpson' account at dewiki, but you do have contributions there [1]. History of enwiki articles later transwikified. My guess is that the existence of such contributions makes you not eligible for the account (or at least for autocreation).

I'd no idea that things written on enwiki could be "transwikified". Amazing! Some of those are back in 2006, long time before unification. As I unified pretty early, most of those edits are after unification, but didn't get linked.
How to fix this? The dewiki user page link is black (posting not allowed), while the Talk link looks possible. So, it's some kind of "limbo" user?

Doesn't show the dewiki edits, and so didn't unify (back in June 2008). It does show the "new" no edit accounts created by visiting their pages this past week.
