I don't know anything about PTP (except what the draft explains).

I'm working from draft-gerstung-nts4uptp-02.pdf  (which I got a few minutes 
ago)

I don't see any fatal flaws, but it doesn't feel good.

You will have to prove that phase 2 is secure.  That doesn't look easy to me, 
but I'm not a crypto geek.

Why not move phase 2 to the TLS connection?
If you do that, is there any need for cookies?
