That's what I've observed. It's unfortunate if for whatever reason the ASP option doesn't work with Server Variables, but since ASP really is just as "legacy" as the old ISAPI interface, it's not overly concerning to me and there really is nothing we could do about it anyway.
I think it's clear enough what's happening to document the limitation.
Note that REMOTE_USER *does* work fine now with ASP, so certainly that's where the core identity should be derived anyway, which helps some with the weaknesses of the header method.
