Plone 2.5.1 error sending password email from join_form

I've found several conflicting/confusing posts about this
issue, so any help
would be appreciated. 

I'm running Plone 2.5.1 on Linux, and as a member of the
site, I can
successfully request a "reset password" email. 
The email is sent, so I
assume that I have mail servers set up correctly.

However, when using the join_form, if you click the
"Send a mail with the
password" box, you get an error on the email field:  

"We were unable to send your password to your email
address: Your user
account does not have the required permission. Access to
'requestReset' of
(PasswordResetTool at /starpound/portal_password_reset)
denied. Your user
account, Anonymous User, exists at /acl_users. Access
requires one of the
following roles: ['Manager', 'Owner']. Your roles in this
context are
['Anonymous']."

Is this a bug in 2.5.1, or is it a problem with my
configuration?  

Thanks,
Bob

Is upgrading to 2.5.3 an option? I'm not sure what's going
on but 
I don't see the problem on my site (http://aclark.net).

I have been considering upgrading to 2.5.3, but I'm a Linux
noob so I'm a bit
hesitant.  I hoped I'd get some confirmation as to why the
problem happens
so I'd know if an upgrade would fix it.

I have some questions about migration, so maybe I'll post
those in a
separate message rather than hijaacking this thread.

Thanks,
Bob
