D'oh!

The problem was an extra space in the Wifidog gateway configuration at
/etc/wifidog.conf:

AuthServer {
    Hostname my.auth.server
    Path /wifidog/
}

There must be absolutely no whitespace after my.auth.server!

I consider this a bug. Host names must not contain whitespace, so any
kind of whitespace after the hostname should be stripped from this
variable. I wasn't the only one who was caught by this one...
