[Mediawiki-l] Login error,<nocookiesforlogin>

I know you guys are probably getting tired of seeing my name appear on
this list by now, but I've run into yet another 1.18.0 upgrade issue.
After lots of debugging over at the Bugzilla site, I finally found out
my custom skin was the cause of most of my 500 server errors.  I now
have 1.18.0 running successfully, complete with my own custom skin (now
properly derived from MonoBook rather than the hack job I did earlier).

Only... now I can't log in.

Every time I attempt to log in I receive the following cryptic error:

Login error
<nocookiesforlogin>

I know for a fact that my username and password are correct, and this is
my own site so I'm certainly not blocking my own cookies.  I'm not using
any of the $wgCookie* variables; those are all set to their default
values.  I've tried tweaking some of these, including setting
$wgDisableCookieCheck = true, with no obvious change in the result.

The only thing I can possibly think of that might be affecting this is
the fact that I use Apache mod_rewrite to force login requests to HTTPS
mode so the password will be encrypted.  The <form> tag does not include
the protocol as part of the action value, so if I submit the form in
HTTPS mode it *should* stay in HTTPS.  However, as with everything else
I've complained about, this worked without a hitch in 1.17.1 and below
and stopped working with 1.18.0.

Any ideas?  I want to make sure it's not something stupid I've done
before filing a bug report.
