A session is just a non-tied hashref if there's an error fetching it
from the datastore, which typically happens in the case of an expired
session. The OI user shouldn't care if the session is tied or untied,
to her it's just a hashref. And the idea is that if any new
interesting keys are added during the request we then create a brand
new session, copy the data into it, and store it as normal.

Looking at it now I'm pretty sure that call on line 141 of
SessionManager.pm should be changed from:

    my $new_session =3D $class->_create_session;

to

    my $new_session =3D $class->create;


since that method will create a new session if not given an ID. Try
that change and see what happens.
