Thank you. That got me looking in the right direction.
The backup restored the proper apache configuration for the ScriptAlias to remove the cgi-bin level from the URL, the base URL in the Mailman config file was not similarly adjusted so it kept directing to a directory that would not request the cookie.

I'm running the Debian Stable package of GNU Mailman. Public archives work;

authentication I see the table showing all the months of messages, clicking on

master-site password or a regular list subscriber.
Cookies are being set properly.
Possible scenarios:
1) You are redirected to another URL so that the browser doesn't send the required cookie.
Check your browsers URL window with wide open eyes if there is something unusual.
2) There is an old and stale cookie remained in your browser and the browser is sending it together with the new cookie. The server only cheking the old one.
Clear all the cookies related to your mailman site and retry.
They are only suggestions. May work, may not work....
