Any idea what terrible thing I did to my flux installation to make that happen?

How did you build you flux installation? Or are you using an install build by someone else?

That sounds like maybe flux-core was built without --with-flux-security or flux-security was not configured properly. Users should be signing jobs with munge when submitting to a system instance of Flux. When the flux system instance is running as a system user (usually "flux") and the user is the user, then the "none" sign type won't be accepted.

Give us a little more context on what your installation looks like and we can probably help. Meanwhile, there might be some useful config info here:
