Comment(by federico):

 the problem has been described here [0] (the proposed solution doesn't
 work) and it's not on https everywhere side but on how the target website
 reacts to it

 anyway, since https everywhere interaction is known to cause problems
 sometimes, adding a notification thing and letting web developers know
 what's going on may help track down and solve them.

 FAQs suggest to disable the breaking rule [1]: I would like to do the
 same, being more specific
