Can you please try following test script:

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->requests_redirectable([qw(GET HEAD POST)]);
my $response = $ua->post('http://your.site.url',
                         { login => 'xxx', password => 'yyy' });

if ($response->is_success) {
    print "ok\n"
} else {
    print "Error: " . $self->status_line . "\n";
}

If it reproduces the problem (i.e. you get same error message) then it
should be either a problem in LWP or in reverse proxy.

You can add

use LWP::Debug (+);

to get all debug log from LWP::Debug. They may be helpful to find
what's going on.

As I understand HTTP::WebTest 1.xx didn't use
$ua->requests_redirectable([qw(GET HEAD POST)]) to let LWP::UserAgent
$ua->handle redirects after POST but was doing it itself. Probably it
$ua->explains the difference.
