I believe this too! Maybe you check it at the first page e.g. the
catalog page (the next page after the index page)?
E.g. the first page has

[if type=explicit compare="[read-cookie MV_SESSION_ID]"] [/if]
                                                       ^^^
                                                       is empty

and after this, maybe this can prevent the problem?

BTW: 
Do you know about the german minivend mailing list?
We need some people for our public minivend project!
