Scott, I'll see what the others here have to say about that. We did mess with the cookie scope when we relaunched FT back in July, since the previous setting caused some problems. That may have caused some other weirdness...
UPDATE:
Yeah, that was something we looked into last year, and the reason we do a broad cookie is to (hopefully) prevent the need to login again to each Forum (Travel, Miles, etc) while you're on FT. Because of what we're doing with UBB (multiple boards, BUT pulling from a central userbase), we're stuck in the middle. The example you give above is meant for multiple boards that are standalone (separate userbases), but we're not using UBB in that sense
