Thanks.  I turned on the frontend log and cranked it up to '-l all'. 
The log showed that it was pulling the three SetupPinCode variables from 
the database.  So...I edited the database to make SetupPinRequired '0' 
and it worked fine.

Armed with that information, I now know that this is just open bug 1540:
