Thanks for the quick reproducer.

I got it to pop - a few times, actually - but now that I've added debug
code (cookie values to check for some sort of a stray write), it's now
decided not to pop anymore, after 24 hours of testing, with and without
my debug changes.

Hmm.

We may just have to revert this for now, unless anyone else has any
bright ideas.
