Comment(by dsd):

 When browse is opened for the first time after registering, it explicitly
 creates a cookie (from Python code) and adds it to libsoup's cookie
 storage.

 But a missing annotation in libsoup caused this in-memory copy to be
 trashed soon after the cookie was created, causing the crash seen here.

 It didn't occur on subsequent runs, because the cookie *was* correctly
 saved on disk, and subsequent runs detect that the cookie is already
 present in the DB so they don't create another one.
