Do you hold the shift key down as you click the login button and then until login has completed? If you don't hold it down soon enough or for long enough, it may not get registered.

Apparently, I was not holding down the shift key quickly enough after pressing Enter to login. You must IMMEDIATELY hold down the key to get it to work properly.

You can just hold the shift key down before and as you click the login button. No need to try and do it afterwards. What has changed in Tiger, is that you can't hold the shift key and press enter to activate the login.
