It's a bug.  Path is an optional parameter for the set-cookie header.
get-param simply extracts that parameter from the header.  It looks like
I added code to default to the current URI's path, but I forgot to
actually use the derived path.

Please try the attached patch and let me know if it helps.

The debug output is helpful, if you realize it's a continuation call
trace rather than a traditional "call stack".  I often find the default
length is a little short though.  You can increase that with -:aN where
N is the desired length.  I usually just pass -:a100 or something and
scroll through it.
