Hi

I have the same problem with mobile devices. Changing line 329 in
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/Cookie.py from:

if (l_key in valid or key[0] == '$'):

to:

if (l_key in valid):

seems to resolve the problem for mobile devices, while not affecting
other browsers. Still, I don't know what other side effects may this
change have, as I didn't find anything about this problem on the net.
