IMHO, I think the problem is that FF and Safari know there is a
difference between mysite.com and www.mysite.com and IE, in its
infinite wisdom, is making the decision for you that they are the same
since everyone knows that the "www" in a URL is silent like the P in
bathtub..(sorry)

I think if you force domain cookies you will also break it in IE since
you will specifically be telling IE that www.mysite.com is not that
same as mysite.com

I am guessing that this is a content app of some sort?  and your users
are providing the "bad" or inconsistent urls?  You may be forced to
parse their input to correct it to avoid this error..or you could
resort to the old standby of putting the token in the URL..
