When using jQuery with Sitecore you need to take additional steps so that the jQuery $ function doesn't interfere with the Prototype $ function that Sitecore uses for the Sitecore Ribbon.
Example from api.jquery.com
jQuery.noConflict();
(function($) {
$(function() {
// more code using $ as alias to jQuery
});
})(jQuery);
// other code using $ as an alias to the other library

After updating a solution from VS2008 to VS2010 the unit tests for our custom web security providers started failing the builds with messages like:
Error 15 The type or namespace name 'MembershipProvider' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) D:\Development\[snip].UnitTests\ProviderHelper.cs
Error 16 The type or namespace name 'RoleProvider' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) D:\Development\[snip].UnitTests\ProviderHelper.cs
Error 4 The type name 'RoleProvider' could not be found. This type has been forwarded to assembly 'System.Web.ApplicationServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. Consider adding a reference to that assembly. D:\Development\[snip].UnitTests\ProviderHelper.cs
The last exception here reveals the issue. The project now needs a reference to System.Web.ApplicationServices
Producing HTML output from a ASP.NET WebControl is fairly verbose in terms of the amount of markup required. This isn't ideal for readability or maintenance.
When I find a workable solution I'll post it here. Right now I'm thinking it will be some form of Fluent interface.

First, some background on the development environment:
Steps to reproduce:
It appears the issue could be related to IE8 opening the new tab in a separate process and not correctly passing the session cookies in with the new request. See Stack Overflow IE8 losing session cookies in pop-up windows.
This definitely appears to be related to the site being in the trusted zone. In another similar case a pop up window would spawn in a new window without the session cookies when triggered from a trusted zone. When the site was taken out of the trusted zone the pop up would open in a new tab with the session cookies.
Update 23/01/2012 - Encountered another variant of this issue when the website trying to open the popup window was in the trusted security zone and an iframe of a parent site. The parent website that contained the iframe wasn't in the trusted website zone and IE was showing mixed zone security messages. When the popup window appeared it was in the trusted zone but had lost the session cookies.
Here is a riddle, what is wrong with this brand new .NET 4.0 console application that only references the log4net 1.2.10.0 dll?
error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'log4net' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(1360,9): warning MSB3253: The referenced assembly "log4net" could not be resolved because it has a dependency on "System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" which is not in the currently targeted framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client". Please remove references to assemblies not in the targeted framework or consider retargeting your project.
The projects target framework is set to the client profile version of the .NET framework, which excludes (typically) server side assemblies such as System.Web.
Changing the Target framework under the Application project properties resolves the issue.
