I specifically wrote a test for this, however it's a test and not  
comprehensive, and I can't see without spending time to take a  
detailed look again if your case is proved or disproved by this test.

If what you're saying is true, then it's session fixation and fairly  
bad news - needs fixing.

Don't suppose you'd like to contribute a few more tests around here  
to prove or disprove the issue, as it's obviously on your mind?
