This is probably a side effect of the way cookies work. A cookie can have a 'secure' flag set, which means it won't get sent over a normal http connection. There is nothing which prevents a non-secure cookie from being sent on a https connection. So if you establish a session via http, that same session will get used when you switch to https but possibly not vice versa.
