David:

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have struggled with this for
several hours. It never dawned on me to simply check the cookies
collection on the server to see what was coming in.

Now, please educate me about something: how does the browser know
which cookies to send? Is it going to be sending those
client-side-created-cookies to every server that the user goes to from
now on?
