The second change is in append_sid (the root cause of it all) in functions.php.

Code:

[...]

This change means that people without sid in a cookie cannot have a session (in my mind there should never have been an append_sid function at all).

// Use the short variant if possible
if ($params === false)
{
// Append session id
if (!$session_id)
{
return $url . (($append_url) ? $url_delim . $append_url : '') . $anchor;
}
else
{
return $url . (($append_url) ? $url_delim . $append_url . $amp_delim : $url_delim) . 'sid=' . $session_id . $anchor;
}
}
