Another factor that might have a bearing on this: the old server had PHP 5.2.17 - the new server has 5.4.36.
In my original post I said I had a CakePHP 2.3 and a 1.3 app that were misbehaving. When I switched the 1.3 app to use Session.default='cake', it started working. Now I can switch it back to 'php' and it still works. The 2.3 app still does not retain the session data after redirect (everything else works).
