yes, that sounds like it exactly.

Using "sqlite3 ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/permissions.sqlite" , i
looked for likely suspects with:

   select * from moz_hosts where host  like '%:%';

This turned up several acceptable hosts with port identifiers
(foo.example.org:8080), but also included "scheme:about", which appeared
to have cookie permissions set to "8" (??)

I closed iceweasel, and (still in sqlite3) did:

   delete from moz_hosts where host = 'scheme:about';

After restarting iceweasel 17.0, it works as expected (host permissions
are retained from previous sessions).

Thanks for the pointer, Mike!  And i'm glad that it looks like this will
be fixed in 17.0.1.
