Iyonix/ARMini cookie behaviour inconsistency

In the case of the mysterious 'round in circles' bug 3324329
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3324329&group_id=51719&atid=464312
where it is only possible to log in to this website by first deleting
all site-related cookies (having first refreshed them by actually
displaying the log-in page - you can't save time by deleting them in
advance!), I have now come across an even weirder permutation.

Using dev 825 (with JavaScript included but configured *off) it is now
possible to log in to http://www.ravelry.com running Netsurf on the
ARMini but not on the Iyonix, where the cookie-deletion workaround is
still required. I recorded (and have uploaded) logs of the same
sequence of actions on both computers, but can't detect any immediately
obvious significant differences (save that the *successful* run contains
the line
(0.680000) content/urldb.c urldb_load_cookies 3682: Overran input
...!)
