Comment:

 Ugh, this was actually broken by [28895], more specifically by adding
 `COOKIE_DOMAIN` to the `'wp-settings-' . $user_id` cookie...

 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Domain_and_Path Reference]:

  "... However, there is a difference between a cookie set from foo.com
 without a domain, and a cookie set with the foo.com domain. In the former
 case, the cookie will only be sent for requests to foo.com. In the latter
 case, all sub domains are also included."

 Seems some of this needs to be reverted.
