Just reconfirmed that this bug still exists in 11.10 (Ocelot). I started Firefox in the desktop-i386 LiveCD, went right to Preferences, clicked Privacy, changed from "remember everything" to "custom settings", clicked "View cookies", and poof, the Google PREF cookie is there, with a many-hex-digit "ID" field inside it.
