Following up on this, I've now gotten a fancier 400 error page with a
code that needs to be sent in, however the link includes
"contact_type=user" which is currently not enabled on the support page
(i.e., I get the same page if I change the contact type to be
"kitten") unlike other values such as "ban". Maybe in the next few
days the reporting will go live and we'll be able to send in our
info.  For now, I'm a little happier getting a google branded error
page instead of wonder where in the stream things were broken.

The deletion of cookies still resolves the situation.  I'm not sure
what is the cause of the cookies -- perhaps something in Labs?  I can
generate them temporarily by opening a message, but when things are
working correctly they just go away in a second or two.
