I think the server just isn't expecting a "multipart/form-data" submission.
 This seems to work:

      curl -L -v -c asshat1234.txt \
          -d "username=asshat1234&password=cheese123&persistent=on" \
          "http://digg.com/login/prepare/digg"

At least, the returned page contains a "Logout" link instead of a "Login"
link... :)

And I get these cookies:
