I have never seen this, but a few questions;

1. Are you using Master Pages?
2. If so, is the CSS linked to the Master Page?

In our implementation, the CSS links to the master page, which works on all
pages that use that master. We will likely dynamically alter the CSS for
Firefox, due to some incompatibility, but I have not conquered that hurdle
yet.

Not sure why authentication would alter any of this, but I would look at
source on the rendered page, both with and without, and see if the path for
the CSS is somehow changing. Worst case is to embed the CSS in the page.

be sure the css file extension is not mapped to asp.net (or exclude it from
authenication in the web config) , or it cannot be referenced until the user
logs in.
