Just an update:

It seems to be related to the manager system not liking my users.

# telnet localhost 5038
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Action: login
Username: admin
Secret: secret

Response: Error
Message: Authentication failed

Connection closed by foreign host.

the CLI shows this:

[Jan 19 09:25:26] DEBUG[9950]: manager.c:2067 process_message: Manager 
received command 'login'
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/manager.conf': [Jan 19 09:25:26] DEBUG[9950]:

authenticate with nonexistent user 'admin'
  == Connect attempt from '127.0.0.1' unable to authenticate

and again, for posterity:

# grep -v '^;' /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
[general]
enabled = yes
webenabled = yes
port = 5038
httptimeout = 60
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
displaysystemname=yes
displayconnects = yes

[admin]
secret = secret
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,config
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,config
displayconnects=yes

[foo]
secret = foo
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,config
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,config

So it's there, and the manager even sees the users:

*CLI> manager show user admin

       username: admin
         secret: secret
           deny: (N/A)
         permit: (N/A)
           read: system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,config
          write: system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,config
displayconnects: yes

-A.
