Yes, the Browser Security Handbook has some very interesting data wrt cookies 
and behavior thereof for a number of UAs. Specifically, the "same-origin policy 
for cookies" section..

   http://code.google.com/p/browsersec/wiki/Part2#Same-origin_policy_for_cookies

..(note the table at the end of the section).

Also, Michal (the author) has a bunch of test cases that can be downloaded here..

   http://browsersec.googlecode.com/files/browser_tests-1.03.tar.gz

..I don't know if they're any help for the test harness effort you all are 
engaging in.

HTH,
