Session cookie for authentication is lost in 303 redirect

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Write a test with a FormAuthentication

RestAssured.authentication = form("myuser", "secret", new 
FormAuthConfig("/authenticate", "username", "password"));

2. Test with a login method that sets a session cookie and redirects to another 
resource with a 303.

// Play Framework 2.0 controller
    session().put("username", username);
    return redirect(routes.Application.index());

3. In the next request the session cookie is lost and the user is not 
authenticated anymore.

If I change the redirect to a 302 found response, the behavior is correct and 
the cookie is not lost.

For my tests I used 1.7 as well as 1.8.0.
