While I'm thinking about it: why doesn't
universal login work from secure?
After all, the centralauth credentials seem to exist, so the various *wiki

You would be logged in if you used the secure meta link:
http://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta/wiki/Help:Unified_login
When you log into secure, you're logged in everywhere, but only on their
secure version (that's done on purpose).
Links between wikis taking you out of secure are a known problem
(although I think enwiki has some javascript to reduce it).
Contrarily, the interwiki links from Main_Page at the
bottom work fine, but
the language links on the left side do not....
Looking at the source, it seems somebody went through some template
hoops to
make the secure links. But the <prefix><colon> system should just work!
Sure they should. It's the open bug
