Comment(by norwat):

 Update ... let me try and explain what I think (from my limited
 understanding) is happening, and why this is a bug.  The Press-This
 feature appears to work independent of the dashboard, meaning there is a
 separate log-in process when you author a post with this feature.  There
 appears to be a bug moving back and forth between the two log-in
 processes: 1) authoring a post with Press This, and 2) editing a post in
 the admin dashboard.  Once my dashboard freezes, and I am unable to make
 any changes in WordPress without getting sent back to log-in window, I am
 still able to use the Press This feature to upload content and post to
 blog accordingly.  The fact that I am prevented from updating content
 across all browser platforms (Safari, Firefox, and Camino) in
 administration window leads me to think there is something with the log-in
 feature that is triggered by a process in "press this," and leaves me
 without the ability to edit posts.  The software/database appears to
 think, and sometimes gives me the message, that I am already logged on ...
 and appears to be incapable of tracking my movements back and forth
 between "press this" and the "administration dashboard," and keeping track
 of "who" is accessing files (regardless of cookies being removed or not).
