Comment(by pde):

 It looks as though we may not be able to get a reference to the document
 or window from within the cookie-changed observer.  In which case perhaps
 the best we can do is before securing a cookie for foo.example.com, ask
 whether we would have rewritten http://foo.example.com to https (and also
 that it isn't in our redirects-back-to-HTTP blacklist).
