Let me Thank each and everyone of you for the patient responses. I could see this problem with the demo site (09.04) as well. Based on the responses, I tried out a few things up with the installed Ofbiz in my machine. Here is the observation.
I was using IE 8.0.7. But when I used firefox3.6.2 it shows up the next screen where I could enter details of 'quick checkout'. And it proceeded to the point of showing 'Submit Order' and then 'Order Confirmation'. So the flow is normal in both the versions 4.0 and 09.04, when I use firefox. So may be it was some problem with the storage of cookies in the browser; I am not sure what setting change I should make in the IE browser for it to correct the flow.

If you start your session in HTTPS and switch to HTTP then the session will almost always get dropped (I'm not sure if the JSESSIONID helps here, it may do). If anyone wants to try that scenario they might have better luck trying to replicate the problem.
