I cannot reproduce this bug on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 with Firefox 3.0.1. Although I tried having visited only 5 websites and the OP mentions that the database must be 'large enough'.

@Alec: How large is large enough? Please create a new profile and try to reproduce the bug by visiting websites that you do not mind posting the cookies for.

Additionally, do you have any recovery/restore software on your computer? Are you certain that the profile your are looking at is in fact the same profile that you ran Clear Private Data on?

Might the data not being erased be leftovers from a Firefox 2 profile? If so then the issue is still serious, but the fix is much easier.
