Okay, after some digging the in mysql manual I found this:
If you cannot figure out why you get Access denied, remove from the user  table
all entries that have Host values containing wildcards (entries that contain ‘%’
or ‘_’). A very common error is to insert a new entry with Host='%' and
User='some_user', thinking that this allows you to specify localhost to connect
from the same machine. The reason that this does not work is that the default
privileges include an entry with Host='localhost' and User=''. Because that
entry has a Host value 'localhost' that is more specific than '%', it is used in
preference to the new entry when connecting from localhost! The correct
procedure is to insert a second entry with Host='localhost' and
User='some_user', or to delete the entry with Host='localhost' and User=''.
After deleting the entry, remember to issue a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement to
reload the grant tables.

So to fix this you have drop all anonymous users in the user table.  I will talk
to upstream about this and see what they suggest.  Might be best to change the
user creation code to use a Host of 'localhost' instead of '%'.
