I spoke too soon. It is still broken. And, further investigation now
tells me what's going on.
The repeat case: Go to slashdot. Log into an account that uses the new
discussion system. View any page.
Expand a "hidden" discussion topic. It will work.
Switch to Vidalia. Ask for a new identity.
Switch back to firefox. Try to exand another hidden discussion topic.
Vidalia will show a connection opens to slashdot, and then closes.
Nothing else will change in the browser -- you will not see the full
text of the discussion (only the short blurb that came with the
original page), and you won't see the parent/reply buttons.
It is not so much triggered by Tor, but by using a different
connection than the original page.
Since Tor will change connections after (I think) 10 minutes by
default anyways, this can occur without using "new identity".

Ok, the pictures for this are up at http://www.stb04.nccom.com/ftp/tor-slashdot/
Please note: This was broken in rc 9. It is working (tested today)
with rc 12, Mac os 10.4.9, and Firefox 2.0.0.3. Same privoxy :-).
I don't know which upgrade fixed it, but it does work now.
