Apologies, "lack of session persistence" was a bad way to summarize what I've been seeing. My session persistence is usually fine, and lasts a while regardless of whether 2FA is enabled.
What I was complaining about is that 2FA has to be used every time I log in. There doesn't seem to be an industry standard yet, for example gmail asks for 2FA only every 30 days if you've previously authenticated on the same machine, but GitHub asks for 2FA on every login. Asking only once a month seems like a great compromise to consider.

This (old, erratic, hard to reproduce) bug can usually be fixed by logging out, and then clearing your cookies for all Wikimedia domains.
