Indeed.  base64 can produce '='s, which cookies don't like one bit.

A good solution.  The ideal, of course, would be to change RESPONSE.setCookie
so that it automatically applies 'cookie_quote' to cookie values, and have
ZPublisher 'cookie_unquote' the cookie dict.  The implementation of these two
methods is left as an exercise for the reader.
