Comment:

 The workaround for 0.3.0 is to move the Facebook <securecookie> rules,
 along with an http://apps.facebook.com -> https://apps.facebook.com rule,
 into an optional, off-by-default Facebook+ ruleset.  That ruleset either
 (1) breaks Facebook apps, or (2) may require you to accept a
 www.facebook.com cert for apps.facebook.com, depending on your
 persepective.

 Facebook have told us that this problem will eventually go away, but they
 can't commit to a timeline.  When that happens, the Facebook+ ruleset can
 be merged back into the main one.
