If you go for example to gmail.com, stay there, delete your cookies
and then try to login you'll get the message that your cookies are disabled.
This error is 100% reproducible on Linux, as well as on x86_64 Windows 7 for me.
Then, if you click the back button and login again, everything is working fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to gmail.com (for example)
2.Delete Cookies
3.Try to login
Actual Results:  
You'll get a message that cookies are disabled.

Expected Results:  
Cookies should stay enabled after deleting them.

It looks like this only happens on Gmail.

And why should that be a browser issue if gmail detects that cookies aren't working (their routine seems to be confused by the deleted cookies) ?

I just tried it on Google Chrome and the same happens there.
It really looks like it's a gmail issue.

marking invalid

This seems to be caused by a gmail script that get's confused by the deleted cookie while you are at the site.
