IAS only authenticates for one domain? (*not* an IAS group membership issue)

I have a Win2000 Native mode forest with single domain tree, two domains.
IAS is running on a DC/GCS in the root domain (necessary due to lack of
available hardware). There is an ISA 2004 PPTP server that is configured to
forward all authentication and accounting to the IAS server.

PPTP connections for users who's accounts reside in the child domain work
perfectly. PPTP connections for users who's accounts reside in the parent
domain (the same domain as the IAS server) fail with the standard Event ID
2, reason code 16.

The IAS server has been added to the IAS group in both domains. The shared
RADIUS secret must be correct because it works properly for the users in the
child domain. I know the user accounts I am testing in the parent domain
exist and are being entered correctly because I can turn right around with
the same accounts that fail and log into OWA and other services with those
accounts. I have not done anything with realm modifications because it looks
to me like it is properly identifying the account domain correctly (see
below).

I enabled netsh logging and the IASSAM log output is here. Any ideas as to
what I can try???
