Hi Tim,

I was in the same boat as you are, I think. I use many custom/optional 
fieds and after the upgrade from 0.15.x to 0.16.2 I spent a lot of time 
to figure out how the new version deals with them.
In the end, now I have the following crazy looking authContainerConfig 
which seems to work very well :

'authContainers' => array(
    'DB' => array(
        'type'            => 'MDB2',
        'loginTimeout'    => 0,
        'expireTime'    => 3600,
        'idleTime'        => 1800,
        'allowDuplicateHandles' => 0,
        'storage' => array(
            'dsn' => '',
            'alias' => array(
                'auth_user_id'         => 'auth_user_id',
                'last_login'         => 'last_Login',
                'is_active'         => 'is_active',
                'owner_user_id'     => 'owner_user_id',
                'owner_group_id'     => 'owner_group_id',
                'cDate'              => 'cDate',
                'mDate'              => 'mDate',
                'fname'              => 'fname',
                'name'                 => 'name',
                'gender'             => 'gender',

Hope that helps....
