Comment:

 You mean why it does _not_ expect a referrer, no?

 (My implicit reasoning had been that this instance of reCAPTCHA was saying
 "invalid referrer" because the HTTP->HTTPS request caused the browser not
 to send a referrer)

   If you open  http://bb.arethusa.su/viewforum.php?id=5 (i.e. the forum
 via plain HTTP) in a new clean profile without any add-ons and try to post
 a new topic you'll get the invalid Referer error as well.

 OK.  So in contradiction to the report, this bug is reproducible without
 HTTPS E, and I can close it?
