There is apparently some sort of authentication circuit in the new cables.

This appears not to be the case. I must have at least 10 cables from everything from ancient iPods through to my iPad and iPhone 4. They are all completely interchangeable as far as charging (and syncing) goes.
We have a charger that will charge our old iPods but not our new Touch 4G. It's third-party, so I'm not going to read too much into it, but I thought I saw various accessory cables on eBay that specify they only work with certain generations.
