Bug 709329 should handle this case.  What is intended to happen is that the 401 comes and we make a note that the cluster URL is stale before aborting the sync.

The note short circuits the usual sync delay and we sync as soon as we are asked (usually about 30 seconds, system dependent).

The note also asks for a new cluster URL, at which point we'll discover that the user's password has changed.  The sync is aborted, and this should show up in the Android Settings->Sync UI (on my Transformer Prime, get a "red resync button"). 

At this time, there is no additional UI for announcing this to the user.  Do we need a follow-on ticket for password change?

I don't have a way to introduce 401's, so haven't tested live -- any advice appreciated.

TL;DR -- fixed by 709329.
