I just finished researching this issue after getting the same results.
According to the Cisco TAC until very recently (12.1.9) HSRP authentication
does not prevent non-authenticating routers from joining a group but instead
just issues a badauth message. I haven't tried 12.1.9 yet but supposedly it
is fixed in this release and will prevent routers from join a group if they
fail to authenticate.

Subject: HSRP authentication

Hi,

I was trying HSRP authentication, I configured standby 1 authentication
Cisco on one of the HSRP router. The other side I did not configure for
authentication. I expected that router not participate in the HSRP. But the
results are different. It works fine. It becomes standby and or active as
normal. Only thing I see is a error message keeps coming from the router,
says bad authentication. I don't understand how it happens and I tried this
in couple of different IOS. The latest I used was 12.0 (18)

Regards,
Ravi
