 Happened today. Was writing a post. A lightbox popped up saying my session
 was expired. Filled in my creds, submitted and got a 406 error. Tried
 closing the lightbox - it just popped up again. Tried submitting again.
 Eventually, had to login into the admin area in a different tab, and only
 then the login lightbox stopped popping up.

 What scares me is there wasn't even an option to save my edit. Luckily
 nothing got lost.
