Hi Ted,

I finally got around to trying this.
Despite the fact that the above work, I'm seeing this message:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
auth-source-backend-parse: invalid backend spec: (quote macos-keychain-generic)
auth-source-backend-parse: invalid backend spec: (quote macos-keychain-internet)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think maybe the customization interface has a couple extra single
quotes in it, because it left my auth-sources as

#+begin_src lisp
((quote macos-keychain-generic) (quote macos-keychain-internet) "~/.authinfo" "~/.authinfo.gpg" "~/.netrc")
#+end_src
