Comment:

 Reopening as this is not related to #6614.

 I spent way too much time looking into this, but the cause of the problem
 is when we upgraded jQuery.cookie to v1.4.1 in BuddyPress 2.1.0 (#5208),
 `null` values now get set as cookies.

 Beforehand, the older version of jQuery.cookie() did not set `null` values
 as a cookie, which is how this issue came about.

 `02.patch` is my suggestion to fix this.  It checks for null values before
 setting our activity cookies and should resolve this issue.
