If you run the tests at

http://www.browserscope.org/security/test

There are a few requests with destinations such as:

https://ua-profiler.appspot.com/security/test/test-sts

However, in RP's "base domain" strictness mode, these destinations are showing up as "ua-profiler.appspot.com" rather than "appspot.com".

Given how rare this bug is and my lacking time at the moment, I have a feeling I'll revisit this bug to see if it still exists with the major changes coming in 0.6. I don't know the cause of it at the moment and haven't looked into it any further.
