I've found this:

http://drupal.org/project/user_autorole
#252459: LoginToboggan breaks user_autorole (as well as numerous other things)
#236940: Role not assigned when Login Toboggan enabled

http://drupal.org/project/autoassignrole
#317108: Auto Assign Role clobbers other set roles on insert

We should take a look at what happened and if this also affects the role key module.

1) Issue review

A code review of both modules show that these are mainly updating the {roles} table inside hook_user insert. This happens before the roles are assigned by Drupal.

Drupal updates the roles table by firstly deleting all roles and inserting the roles present in the $edit array.

Magically, if the $edit['role'] field is set & empty, all roles vanish!

Role key handles roles by updating the $edit array, bypassing this issue

2) Test

On a Drupal 5.16 site, latest rolekey, logintogan enable (with Non-authenticated role, autologin & redirect set), no issues found during registration.

Marking closed until an issue is actually detected.
