 This is a strange bug, but it appears to be reproducible in [9621]
 2.7-bleeding, with all plugins turned off. How to reproduce:

 a) Go to the Posts edit screen (wp-admin/edit.php).

 b) Click "Quick Edit" on a post, change a post title, and click Save.

 c) Click "Edit" on the same post. Instead of going to the Post Edit
 screen, you end up at wp-login.php, with ?redirect_to going to wp-
 admin/post.php?action=edit&post=IDNUM . But if you try to log in
 (repeatedly), it just pops back to wp-login.php, with no message about
 passwords etc.

 d) At this point, you can give up, type in the URL wp-admin and go back to
 your dashboard. You are still logged in.

 If you reload the Post Edit list screen between (b) and (c), there is no
 problem editing.

 If you do Quick Edit on one post, and then Edit on a different post, there
 is no problem either.
