It was just a weird artifical edge case where an exception was happening when a particular part of the sequence happened twice, but I couldn't ever get it to happen without really deliberate re-entry of a URL.

That's a problem for me, as my users are seeing this error quite a bit -- without ever hitting the back button.
You say it's a 'weird artificial edge case', but there's 18 of these errors that have happened during external authentication in my log today so-far.
I know it's difficult to reproduce, as I've tried quite a bit. The only time I've seen it was in Chrome, and I didn't have the developer window open at the time to see what actually happened.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Cheers,
Duncan.
