Secure cookies are being removed without notice before the cookie's expiration date. This is happening at least for one site - www.bigtent.com. This site sets a pair of cookies - one for non-SSL pages and a secure cookie for SSL pages.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register for BigTent at https://www.bigtent.com/groups/savingdinner
2. Once registration is complete and you have a valid username/password, log in.
3. Notice that two cookies are set by bigtent.com: login_key and ssl_login_key. Both have expiration dates well into the future.
4. Click around the non-SSL pages. Then go to the SSL page http://www.bigtent.com/profile/me.
5. Repeat this process until you are prompted to log in again.
6. View your cookies. 
Actual Results:  
Notice that ssl_login_key has been removed. login_key still exists.

Expected Results:  
both login_key and ssl_login_key still exist.

ssl_login_key is a secure cookie.
