I took a look at personas back in 2009: when it was still in an early experimental stage and it was distributed as an extension, I was able to register a cookie exchange with your browser and personas server. The exchanged cookie contained the IP address of the browser as seen by the server.
I noted it in my 2009 e-privacy talk: http://sid77.slackware.it/tor/TorWeb20.pdf (Italian only, sorry).
However, since personas get stable and became an official feature of Firefox I wasn't able to record that cookie again, so I didn't mention it in the next events.
