Yes, it seems that none of the methods for getting the full URI include 
the userinfo.  It is intenionaly removed in setURI():

if (_authority != null) { // has_authority
     if (_userinfo != null) { // by default, remove userinfo part
         if (_host != null) {
             buf.append(_host);
             if (_port != -1) {
                 buf.append(':');
                 buf.append(_port);
             }
         }
     } else {
         buf.append(_authority);
     }
}

Why is this the case?  I have no idea.  Anyone else has some thoughts on 
this one?

The only workaround at this point is to build the URI string manually 
from all of the constituent pieces, much like setURI() does.
