This is a pretty nice hole Google dug for themselves.  Though I have
heard the same from folks at other similarly large and crufty
organizations; it's a real problem.

I have a small suggestion:

if (request.url.scheme == 'http') {
  cookie.priority = 'floor';
}

Related story, I believe that some of those people run servers that
forcibly evict all cookies other than those on a small whitelist to
prevent this sort of craziness.  That turns out to have beneficial
properties.
