Description
If you are running the OpenID Provider for WordPress MU by Simon Willison to host your OpenID on a WordPress MU installation, you can use your shiny new OpenID to authenticate anywhere except for blogs using this plugin (WP-OpenID+).

I believe both issues have been resolved in the 2.0 release, as I've been able to successfully login using both a delegated ID with wp-yadis as well as a WP-mu installation. If it turns out they are not resolved, please reopen this ticket or start a new one.

I run into a similar problem where I've got both the WP-OpenID+ and WP-Yadis plugins installed on a WordPress 2.2.x site. When I try to leave a comment using the delegated blog URL as the OpenID, I get the error "OpenID Authentication Failed: Server denied check_authentication." However, it authenticates fine if I use a non-delegated OpenID (e.g., URLs from LiveJournal?).
I know this might sound like an edge case, so let me know if it might somehow be considered expected behavior. (If it is, then a better, clearer error message is needed.) But if what I'm seeing is a bug, and is due to a different issue than this ticket, I could file a separate ticket.
