As best I can tell from my own testing (but I think someone with deeper insight 
into the CORS change for (www|query).wikidata.org and S:UL and such would need 
to confirm this sounds sane): I was able to reproduce the issue, and I was able 
to apparently perma-fix it for myself by deleting the centralauth_Token cookie 
in my browser cookie set that was stored under "wikidata.org" (as opposed to 
www.wikidata.org).

From the server end, we can't tell what domain a cookie was set for, only that 
it matched for the browser's request.  So we could, for example, put a hack in 
varnish to delete the centralauth_Token cookie on requests with the exact Host 
header "wikidata.org" just to kill the one problematic cookie, but users would 
actually have to visit https://wikidata.org/ to trigger the fix.  We could 
maybe do that part by embedding a request to it in all accesses to wikidata.org 
temporarily or something like that.  There might be some better 
application-level way of dealing with this, though.
