This is not an actual bug, but it might behave as one.

Cookies will not be set, if their contents are base64_encoded, since the encoding seems to have characters which mess up the cookie.

So, if a user fills cookies with a bit more complicated data, he/she might want to encode it as e.g. hexa-decimals.

This could be mentioned in the PHP-documentation.

THis is more suited to the user notes (You can add it yourself). I dont really think it has a palce in the actual manual. THere are hundreds of warnings like this we could include but dont.
