Comment (by Clorith):

 If this were the case, do we even need the test cookie? You're trying to
 log in already and if it fails passes but you're still not logged in then
 cookies are a problem.

 Personally, I'd prefer knowing that I can't login because cookies are
 disabled before I type in, and then send, my username and password.
