As already mentioned in BT, I can't reproduce this. I'll have a look at my  
brother's PC, think he has IE6 installed - otherwise I'd set up a clean  
XP-VM.

I can't understand, why setting the cookie using document.cookie doesn't  
work for you - it's supported since IE3! [1]
Could you have a try with

alert(document.cookie);
document.cookie = "testcookie";
sleep(1);
alert(document.cookie);

I think I'll also try this MultipleIE - maybe it's a problem in there.
