1.1.6: PAP and MySQL-stored NT-Password don't work

Hi,

I try to get rid of cleartext passwords stored in a MySQL db, and replace them 
by NT hashes. I set up a test environment and first tried with an entry in 
users:

swinter	NT-Password := "...", Auth-Type := Accept

which worked okay.

Storing the same password in MySQL did NOT work, with a quite spurious error, 
see below:

Nothing to do.  Sleeping until we see a request.

Especially the lines

radius_xlat: Running registered xlat function of module mschap for 
string 'NT-Hash test'
  rlm_mschap: Unknown expansion string "NT-Hash test"
radius_xlat:  ''
rlm_pap: mschap xlat failed

appear suspicious ("test" is the password"). Maybe there's some xlat escaping 
wrong?
The configuration in use is almost as shipped, only added sql config.
