[Chrome] back button action appears to log out user

[kga245]

Steps to reproduce:

1- Login
2- Go to homepage.
3- Go to a post
4- In Chrome, go back using the browser back button

Result: the logged in state appears to be lost. No WP admin bar and (if state is needed elsewhere on the page, it is lost there too).

Expected result, the user should appear to remain logged in.

Note that the session is not lost and if you click on any new page, your logged in state reappears.

I've posted a mov of the phenomenon (in two different theme implementations):

Does this problem still exist for you?

I was unable to reproduce locally but the potential differences seem significant.

The set up I tested with is:
WP: 3.8.1 (fresh install with only 'lorem nonsense' content)
OS: Debian Wheezy
Google Chrome: Version 33.0.1750.117
Default permalinks

I occasionally run into this in multisite instances but I've never run into it in a standalone instance. Probably not our bug, more likely something to do with domain mapping as far as I can tell.
