 but it seems to work and is the least-impact change. (It also would only
 affect new networks.)

 I agree with this.  More generous cookie paths seem like a much better
 solution than multiple logins.  I also don't think there's an actual
 security concern, other than the security-by-obscurity of a slightly
 different path.

 Tested .2.diff and it works for me.
