Assuming you have the SessionMiddleware installed, you will have a session created whenever you access a page that Django is responsible for. The way the login() call should work is when you first GET the page, it sets the test cookie as part of the response you are sent back (the page itself). Then, as part of processing the POST -- the logging in phase -- it checks that the test cookie was set correctly. So, avenues to investigate would be to check if the test cookie is being set (the cookie's name is "testcookie" and it should have a value of "worked") after the get and to check it is being sent back as part of the POST. Session creation and the test cookie stuff is in contrib/sessions/middleware.py in the code.
