Comment (by fisher):

 The bug is still present in TBB 3.6.2 (windows).

 It's possible to login using https://pay.reddit.com and then reloading the
 page.

 Also, private messaging breaks very easily (a redirect problem happens).
 The solution is grabbing the http URL (when possible)and prepend the
 'https://'

 I'll try and look into this issue more closely over the next days;
 considering reddit nowadays is such an important place to read unbiased
 news and share opinion freely, I think it deserves some effort - besides,
 we're denying common users who lack knowledge the possibility to use the
 site.
