Looks like it is an XEmacs issue. In the message log:
Warning: Opening nnimap server on exchange...failed: ; Unable to open server nnimap+exchange due to: Wrong number of arguments: #<subr local-variable-p>, 1; Opening nnimap server on cyrus...failed: ; Unable to open server nnimap+cyrus due to: Wrong number of arguments: #<subr local-variable-p>, 1
There is no backtrace, but a look at auth-source.el does indeed show a call to local-variable-p.
So in my local copy I modified the call to local-variable-p to add a second argument of (current-buffer) which I think is what's needed for xemacs. Now I can log in to the servers OK, but even though I have appropriate lines in .authinfo.gpg (I even moved it out of the way and let it get regenerated) I am prompted for username and password for each server every time, and the lines are simply repeatedly written to .authinfo.gpg.
