You question pointed me at this 

625        warn("Locating existing user data succeded: SID '$tsid'");
626        $session = OpenSession($dbh,$tsid);
627        my $userid = $session->param("user_id");
628       my $username = $session->param("username");
629        warn("userid: '$userid' username: '$username'");

Line 629 shows correct parameters recovered. I can't see where substituting your suggested code would do anything different. Returning the correct rsults indicates no error correct?
