Forget me, sorry.  I was actually loading a local HTML file that I had
hacked, and inserted <BASE href="...originalurl...">.  It was with this
file when the browser/plugin did not transmit the cookies to
...originalurl...

It works fine for pages that are actually loaded from the server, just
not when a local file:///... is loaded that points the nested relative
URLs at the server.   So probably just a little tighter checking on when
to give out the cookies, very reasonable.
