Ok...  I misdiagnosed the problem.  The problem is that snmptrap
itself is complaining that the user doesn't exist, not the agent which
is what I originally thought.

I do suspect a new bug.

I'm going to bet it stems from the delayed engineid probing introduced
a while ago.  sigh.

It is definitely a new bug.  It works in 5.1.x code, but not 5.2.x...
