Yes, that is a current bug of wget.

Ángel already made it clear.

Request #5 makes the server respond with a Cookie that does not match the 
request domain. This simulates a misbehaving server. Wget should ignore that 
cookie, which is tested in Request #6. "!Cookie" => qr|foo=bar|" means 'the 
Wget request must not contain a Cookie header containing foo=bar' (the server 
side checks that).
