Hey Brian, at this point this is simply a bug we've been unable to
reproduce.  I don't know that it fits into the thesis that we've traded
security for usability here, since it should be fixable (if we can
confirm it) without altering the usability profile of the app at all.

And I also don't know that it qualifies as "serious," since it only
manifests itself when the screen is locked (mission accomplished).
