we were seeing something similiar with old/variant cookie data, turned
out to be the difference between
$r->headers_out->add('Set-Cookie'=>$cookie);
and
$r->headers_out->set('Set-Cookie'=>$cookie);
you show your code for generating the cookie, but not setting it, so I
have no way of knowing if this is the same issue...
