Hi, these errors (and others) are fixed in
Maypole::Plugin::Authentication::UserSessionCookie .. I'm waiting for a
new maypole release to push this, as it depends on features only in
existence in the SVN repo, but for interested people it's available at
http://dev.thefeed.no/repos/Maypole-Authentication-UserSessionCookie/
trunk
