I use the restful_authentication plugin (which I think borrows from
acts_as_authenticated), have a model named "User" and use the facebooker
plugin without these issues, so I am fairly confident they can be resolved.

Are you sure you're not doing a stray "include" of the Facebooker module
somewhere?  That's kind of what it sounds like. AuthenticatedSystem is
designed to be used via an 'include' in application.rb, but the facebooker
plugin is not.

Also, FWIW, I did end up creating an evil
twin<http://errtheblog.com/posts/67-evil-twin-plugin>class of
authenticated_system so that I could rewrite how login_from_session
works, and allow it to auto-create facebook users if one is present.  If you
think that code would be useful to you, let me know and I can send it to
you.  I don't think it would help with this particular problem, though.
