I've found a workaround to this issue. To preserve the cookies from a
previous request in a FunctionalTest, you have to manually build the
request. There is a helper method in FunctionTest to get you started:

    // Make the login request
    Map<String, String> loginUserParams = new HashMap<String,
String>();
    loginUserParams.put("username", "admin");
    loginUserParams.put("password", "admin");
    Response loginResponse = POST("/login", loginUserParams);

    Request request = newRequest(); // helper method from
FunctionalTest superclass
    request.cookies = loginResponse.cookies; // this makes the request
authenticated for secure module
    request.url = "/some/secured/action";
    request.method = "POST";
    request.params.put("someparam", "somevalue");
    Response response = makeRequest(request);
    assertIsOk(response); // Passes!
