Description Patrick R. Gansterer 2009-04-07 06:51:35 PDT 
Safari doesn't show a login-promt when a synchron request returns http-code 401
With an asynchronous request it works fine.

It also works with Firefox, Opera, IE, Chrome and the Qt demo browser.
It's a safari and not a webkit bug!

PHP-Code:
<?php
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="REALM"');
?>

JavaScript-Code:
function test(async) {
  var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xmlHttp.open("POST", "401.php", async);
  xmlHttp.send(null);
}

Safari bug reports should be directed at Apple via <http://bugreport.apple.com/>.  However, in this case I don't think anything that you've said indicates that this is a Safari problem rather than a problem specific to the Mac-specific portions of WebKit.
