Maybe you can try to add specifically:
$r->connection->user('who_the_user_is') before the cookie access control
returns OK in the module. Note that some of the cookie authentication
modules are based on "access-only" control so $r->connection->user() can
return a value in late phases only if one assigns it at the first place.
