Non-anonymous editing problems

I am encountering problems when I attempt to disallow anonymous editing
in version 1.5 RC4. I am using the $wgGroupPermissions settings as
follows:

$wgGroupPermissions = array();
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = true;

This indeed does not allow anonymous users to edit. But, it also
prevents registered users from editing and saving. When they hit the
"Save page" button, they get the message, "Remember that this is only a
preview, and has not yet been saved!" as if they had hit the "Show
preview."

And, in fact, when I take $wgGroupPermissions settings out, only
anonymous users can edit and logged in users see the same behavior as
above. Arrgh!

This was also happening in 1.4, which I just upgraded our site to 1.5
RC4 hoping that it fix the problem that was preventing this from working
correctly. But, the same stubborn problem persists.

Any tips for me? Thanks.
